Types of Employment Cases We Handle
Colby Law Firm’s practice areas cover the full range of employment law violations at the San Diego local level and extend to state and federal employment laws. San Diego employees are protected under local, state, and federal jurisdiction.
Workplace Harassment
Harassment is defined as any behavior that creates a hostile work environment through misconduct that raises concerns for the safety of another person’s life, health, well-being, family, or property, whether direct or indirect. This includes unwelcome conduct based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. Harassment creates a hostile work environment. If you have been sexually harassed, bullied, threatened, or wrongfully discriminated against, you may have a workplace harassment case and be entitled to compensation from your employer.
Employment Discrimination
Discrimination is defined as any adverse treatment of an employee or job applicant based on a protected characteristic, such as race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, age (40 and over), disability, medical condition, genetic information, or military and veteran status. Examples of discrimination include wrongful termination, being denied a promotion or raise, being demoted, or being retaliated against for filing a complaint.
Wrongful Termination & Retaliation
Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires you for reasons protected by employment law, such as discrimination or retaliation. Retaliation is when an employer punishes you for a protected activity, such as complaining about unsafe work conditions or discrimination like sexual harassment.
Overtime and Unpaid Wages
You are entitled to fair compensation for all the time you worked, including all wages and overtime pay.
Breaks and Expenses
California and federal law entitles employees to paid breaks when they work a certain number of hours. Employees are also entitled to reimbursement for reasonable work-related expenses.
Independent Contractors
As the gig economy booms, employers sometimes take advantage of independent contractors to avoid providing overtime pay and benefits. If you believe you have been misclassified as an independent contractor, the attorneys at Colby Law Firm can help.
