Employment Attorney Patrice L. Goldman Protects Your Workplace Rights
Our Practice
SEXUAL
HARRASSMENT
California law is much more protective of employee rights than other states.
DISCRIMINATION
Federal and state law prohibit treating an individual differently because they are a member of a certain group.
WRONGFUL
TERMINATION
Even if you are an “at-will” employee, your employer may not terminate or retaliate against you for a reason that violates the law.
BREACH OF
CONTRACT
A breach of contract can occur where an employer fails to comply with the terms of a written contract between it and an employee.
SEVERANCE
NEGOTIATIONS
With limited exceptions, severance pay is not required; however, employers may offer it to avoid potential legal action. It is important employees understand both the terms and reasonableness of any such offer.
RETALIATION
An employee who engages in “protected activity” such as opposing discrimination, standing up for the rights of others, standing up for your own rights, raising claims of wrongdoing, or even just questioning whether conduct is legal, should be protected from retaliation.
FAMILY/
MEDICAL LEAVE
Pregnant employees are entitled to up to four months of pregnancy leave where the employee is disabled because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition.
WAGES, HOURS, WORKING CONDITIONS
California strives to protect the wages that are due and must be paid to employees.
