What leaves of absence issues means

Certain types of absence from work are protected under California employment law.

In fact, California workers have the right to take time off work for many different reasons, without fear of losing their job. These reasons include dealing with family and personal matters; medical issues; serving in the military; and more.

If your employer refuses to give you paid or even unpaid medical or sick leave due to a serious health condition being experienced by you or a family member, that employer may be violating the California Family Rights Act or similar laws.

If this has happened to you, get in touch with us now. We have a team of experienced lawyers who will defend your employee rights.

D.Law’s Emil Davtyan Featured in the Los Angeles Times: Insights on Labor and Employment Law
For the first time in decades, voters rejected an effort to raise the minimum wage in California. The ballot measure would have increased the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18 per hour by the year 2026. If passed, it would have been the highest minimum wage in the nation. Currently, the state’s minimum wage for all workers is $16 per hour. Fast food workers in the state now make $20 per hour. Healthcare workers will see their minimum wage rising to $25/hour over the next decade, thanks to a law Governor Newsom signed in 2023.

What Is California’s Fair Chance Act?
People who leave prison deserve a fair chance to become productive citizens, and gainful employment is one of the best ways to rebuild a normal life. After all, someone with and without conviction history must support themselves and their families with a regular income. Working also helps those with conviction histories re-establish and strengthen their ties with the community. Each of these reduces recidivism and improves mental health.
