California Employee Rights Attorneys
What is common to most employees represented by the Popelka Law Group in San Jose, California, is that they are people who have been deprived of contractual or statutory legal rights. Our lawyers handle employment discrimination and wrongful discharge cases on a contingency basis. In other words, clients do not pay attorneys' fees until and unless we obtain compensation for you — such as for the worker who has been denied overtime pay or the executive who has been offered a substandard severance package.
Contact us by phone or e-mail regarding any employee rights matter, including wrongful termination, wage and hour rights, overtime pay, unpaid meal or break time, discrimination on the basis of age, race, or sex; sexual harassment or hostile work environment, retaliation, executive compensation or "perma-temp" workers.
Employee rights derive from two primary sources: employment contracts and legislation (both federal and state), including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA ACT); Title I of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); Executive Order 11246 of Sept. 24, 1965, establishing equal employment opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and many others.
Sometimes a workplace indiscretion does not rise to the level necessary to constitute a legitimate complaint, claim or lawsuit. A frank discussion with an employment law attorney is an important step in the process of determining what is and what is not a viable employment discrimination or sexual harassment case. Contact a California employment lawyer to schedule a consultation regarding employee rights.
