Employees in California are protected against unlawful activity from their employers by both California and Federal law. Nevertheless, many employers are either unaware of their employees’ rights, or they do not believe that employees will seek legal remedies when their rights have been violated.
Employers have a duty to treat their employees fairly, including providing regular breaks, paying overtime, keeping accurate files, and respecting employee privacy. In addition, employers have a duty to protect their employees from a hostile workplace. Employees who are the targets of unlawful discrimination, who are the targets of retaliation for important whistleblowing, who endure sexual harassment, or any other unlawful activity that isn’t appropriately addressed by managers may have a claim against their employer.
