Losing a job unfairly can be devastating. We represent employees who have been terminated in violation of the law, including those fired due to discrimination, retaliation, or for exercising their legal rights.

No one should be treated unfairly at work because of their race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, or other protected status. We fight for employees facing workplace discrimination and ensure their rights are upheld.

Employers cannot punish employees for speaking up about illegal workplace practices. If you’ve faced retaliation for reporting discrimination, harassment, wage violations, or other misconduct, we are here to protect you.

A hostile work environment can make it impossible to do your job. We advocate for employees who have been subjected to workplace harassment, including verbal abuse, intimidation, and other unlawful conduct.

Workplaces must be free from sexual violence and misconduct. We stand with survivors of workplace sexual assault and pursue justice against those responsible.

Employees who expose fraud, safety violations, or other illegal conduct deserve protection. We represent whistleblowers who have suffered retaliation for doing the right thing.

Employers must follow wage laws. We handle cases involving unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, meal and rest break violations, regular rate miscalculations, and wage theft, including class actions on behalf of affected employees.

At WorkRight Law, we advocate for employees who face challenges when requesting or taking a leave of absence from work. Whether you need time off for a medical condition, to care for a loved one, for pregnancy, or another qualifying reason, California and federal laws protect your right to take leave without fear of retaliation or wrongful termination.

Know Your Rights

Employees in California may be entitled to job-protected leave under laws such as:

• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) – Provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for serious health conditions, family care, or military-related needs.

• California Family Rights Act (CFRA) – Similar to FMLA, but with broader coverage, including leave to care for a domestic partner.

• Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) – Provides up to four months of job-protected leave for pregnancy-related disabilities.

• Paid Sick Leave – California law requires employers to provide paid sick leave, with additional protections in certain cities and counties.

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) & California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) – If you have a disability, your employer may be required to grant you medical leave as a reasonable accommodation.

How Employers Violate Leave Laws

Unfortunately, some employers unlawfully deny leave, retaliate against employees who take leave, or pressure them to return to work before they are ready. Common violations include:

• Wrongfully denying leave requests

• Firing or demoting employees for taking protected leave

• Misclassifying employees to avoid providing leave benefits

• Refusing to reinstate employees after leave

• Retaliating against employees who request or take leave
