The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) offers protections to a wide range of employees throughout California. This act automatically applies to certain companies; employers usually cannot opt out. So when an employer fails to uphold a worker's rights under this act, they may be in violation of employment law. 

Employment lawyers often receive questions from workers concerned about their rights. One common question among female workers is, "Can you get fired for being pregnant?" Understanding your employment rights is crucial, especially if losing your job coincides with your pregnancy.  Discover which protections are in place for employees and when someone may have grounds to file a wrongful termination lawsuit. 

Many California workers suspect that their employers have violated employment law. However, they might hesitate to report this behavior to HR for fear that they will face negative consequences for doing so.  Retaliation is unlawful in California. When it occurs, employees may have legal options available under state or federal law. Knowing how to prove retaliation in the workplace can help you begin gathering evidence that might be relevant to your case. 

California employment law is a vast and complex field, but at its core, it is designed to protect workers from unfair treatment and discrimination.

Your employer has a responsibility to treat you fairly regardless of your gender, sex, or any other protected characteristic. However, many California employees experience gender discrimination at work. Proving this unlawful behavior may sometimes be challenging due to a lack of concrete evidence. 

If you believe you’re the victim of workplace discrimination and take legal action, an employment lawyer will need to gather evidence supporting your claim. Labor laws protect employees against harassment and discrimination, but not every impacted worker knows how to prove their case. In this guide, our lawyers explain how to prove employment discrimination.
