BREACH OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS – involve written, oral, or implied contracts. Breach of employee contracts involve employees terminated from their employment before the expiration of their employment contracts. Employment contract breaches also involve unpaid bonuses, commissions not properly paid, and stock options.

EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION LAWSUITS – are brought for age discrimination, disability discrimination, genetic discrimination, gender discrimination (including unequal pay), medical condition discrimination (including cancer and AIDS), military status discrimination, national origin discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, race discrimination, religious discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, and veteran status discrimination. Employee discrimination lawsuits also involve violations of the Federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Leave Act (CFRA). Workplace discrimination lawsuits may involve the loss of a job, retaliation, or years of discrimination at work. Employment discrimination lawsuits may be brought against all employers including public employers.

EMPLOYEE HARASSMENT LAWSUITS – involve workplace harassment due to a protected characteristic. These are the same characteristics employers cannot discriminate against. Workplace harassment lawsuits include disability harassment, racial harassment (also sometimes known as ancestry harassment, or national origin harassment), pregnancy harassment, and sexual harassment (including verbal sexual harassment and physical sexual harassment).

Workplace harassment under FEHA (an important employment law) must be done by a person of authority, or must continue after a complaint to a person of authority.

Our employee attorneys have handled many sexual harassment and racial harassment cases. We have represented employees from all industries from minimum wage janitorial staff to highly educated executives and professionals. We have won employee harassment lawsuits brought by men, against other men.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT – May be sued for if the harassment was done by a supervisor or manager regardless of whether it stopped after the employee complained. Otherwise, sexual harassment must be ratified by supervisory or managerial employees and/or continue after it was complained about to supervisors or managers. We take sexual harassment cases based merely upon sexually harassing acts regardless of whether the employee has been fired from their job. We also take sexual harassment lawsuits that involve retaliation and job terminations. Tidbit, Firm founder, Karl Gerber was first quoted as an expert in sexual harassment, by the main legal newspaper in California, in approximately 2003.

Our labor lawyers accept unpaid wage lawsuits on behalf of individual employees and groups of employees. Group efforts to obtain unpaid wages are called Class Actions, Labor Code Section 2699 representative actions, or mere group filings for unpaid wages.

Unpaid wages also refers to wage loss in the event of the loss of a job due to discrimination or wrongful termination. Our wage lawyers work to recover lost wages in the event of unlawful discrimination, or termination of employment, as well as due to the non-payment of wages for work done for the employer.
