Employment Law Services for Sacramento-based Workers
Colby Law Firm is licensed to represent clients throughout California, including employees and independent contractors based in Sacramento. We focus exclusively on employment law and handle a wide range of workplace disputes under both state and federal law. If you’re facing a serious issue at work—such as discrimination, unpaid wages, or wrongful termination—our team has the experience to help you understand whether legal action may be appropriate.
The sections below outline some of the most common employment law issues we review for California workers.
Harassment
Harassment may involve bullying, intimidation, or other behavior that makes your work environment feel unsafe — especially when it’s based on protected characteristics like race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. If you believe you’ve experienced workplace harassment, Colby Law may be able to help you understand your legal options.
Discrimination
It’s illegal for employers to discriminate based on protected traits such as age, race, gender, religion, or disability. Discrimination can appear in many forms, from denial of promotions to wrongful termination. If you believe you’ve experienced discrimination, you may wish to speak with an attorney.
Wrongful Termination and Retaliation
Both California and federal law protect workers from being fired or punished for asserting their rights. If you believe your employer retaliated against you or wrongfully terminated your employment, you may have grounds to pursue a claim.
Overtime and Unpaid Wages
California law entitles employees to full and fair pay for all hours worked, including overtime. If you believe your employer has withheld pay, failed to pay overtime, or underreported your hours, you may be entitled to recover unpaid wages.
Hourly or Salary Pay
Pay disputes can arise from misclassification, minimum wage violations, or inaccurate hour tracking. If you’re missing wages or benefits you believe you earned, an employment attorney may be able to help you explore your legal options.
Breaks and Expenses
Employees in California are entitled to rest and meal breaks, and to reimbursement for qualifying business expenses. If you’ve been denied breaks or not reimbursed for expenses outlined in your employment agreement, legal remedies may be available.
Independent Contractors
Misclassification of independent contractors can lead to unpaid wages and missed legal protections. If you believe you’ve been misclassified, or your contract has been violated, Colby Law can review your situation under California law.
Prosecuting Claims
Some employment disputes may lead to litigation. Colby Law Firm has experience representing workers in negotiations, mediations, and legal proceedings involving wage disputes, harassment, and more. If your case requires legal action, we may be able to assist.
Time Off Work
Under California law, employees are entitled to accrued paid time off, sick leave, and other job-protected leave in many cases. If you believe your employer has denied leave you’re entitled to under the law or your contract, you may have grounds to take action.
Failure to Accommodate
California and federal laws require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified workers with disabilities. If you believe your employer failed to accommodate your needs, you may benefit from discussing your situation with an attorney.
Executive Agreements
Disputes over executive compensation, severance, or non-compete clauses may involve complex contract issues. Colby Law Firm has experience reviewing and analyzing executive employment agreements to determine whether contractual obligations have been violated.
