Monterey County Employment Attorney
Understand your rights and take steps to protect yourself. Our employment lawyers can help you navigate workplace labor law violations.
Whether they earn an hourly wage or have a set annual income, every employee has certain rights under state and federal law. If an employer happens to violate any labor laws, our employment attorneys can be your legal resource. At D.Law, we proudly serve California laborers and aren’t afraid to litigate when labor law violations occur.
Reach out to us today to consult with an employment attorney in Monterey County. With more than 40 attorneys and 130 support staff across all locations, we’re the law firm you can turn to for many of your workplace issues and concerns.
We’re Committed to Protecting Your Rights
When an employer doesn’t treat you fairly, should you just brush it off? You have protected rights thanks to various state and federal labor laws. Consistently missing out on overtime pay, dealing with harassment from a coworker, and even being excluded from certain workplace activities may be in direct violation of those rights.
If something doesn’t seem right within your workplace, contact our labor rights attorneys. We understand the granted protections among various laborers, including exempt and non-exempt employees and, in some cases, independent contractors. Depending on the details of your case, you may have grounds to sue an employer for damages.
We Represent Clients in All Types of Employment Cases
Our firm exclusively handles labor and employment law cases, which may cover several forms of employee mistreatment. Whether you’re looking for an employment attorney in Monterey County to assist with a wage theft claim or a harassment lawsuit, count on our team to provide guidance and clarity regarding the following issues:
■ Wrongful termination
As Monterey County’s respected wrongful termination lawyers, we review whether a firing is acceptable under at-will employment laws or if it violates an employee’s rights.
■ Workplace retaliation
California workers have a right to report illegal conduct or unfair treatment in the workplace. If they are let go, assigned different duties, or given a pay cut in response, it may be a form of illegal retaliation.
■ Discrimination and harassment
Many laborers are protected against workplace discrimination and harassment. Contact us if you believe your unfair treatment is based on characteristics like your race, sex, national origin, age, religion, or disability.
■ Wage theft
Employers may unfairly withhold someone’s hard-earned wages. You may have a wage theft case if your job grants you overtime pay, but you do not receive the full compensation for overtime hours.
■ Family or medical leaves of absence
Consult a workplace dispute lawyer if your employer denies your right to a leave of absence under certain conditions. Their actions may violate the rules of the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re dealing with a hostile work environment or mistreatment in the workplace. Let a seasoned attorney review the information and determine if you can take legal action against an employer.
