Wrongful Termination and Unlawful Retaliation

California is an at-will employment state, but employers cannot terminate workers for unlawful reasons. When an employer fires an employee in violation of public policy, contractual agreements, or statutory whistleblower protections, that termination is illegal. When you hire a lawyer from HKM Employment Attorneys LLP, your case is investigated to establish liability under state and federal law:

• Whistleblower retaliation: Protecting employees who report unlawful corporate practices, fraudulent accounting, safety hazards, or regulatory violations from retaliatory discharge.
• Retaliation for exercising rights: Defending workers terminated after requesting medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
• Breach of employment contracts: Holding employers accountable when they breach executive agreements, severance pacts, or non-compete clauses.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Advocacy

Every worker is entitled to an environment free from prejudice and severe harassment. California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides some of the strongest worker protections in the nation. Practice areas handled by the Riverside legal team include:

• Workplace discrimination: Filing formal administrative charges and civil lawsuits for adverse employment actions based on race, color, national origin, religious creed, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or pregnancy.
• Sexual harassment: Combating hostile work environments and quid pro quo harassment where job security or advancement is conditioned on unwelcome sexual advances.
• Failure to accommodate: Holding companies accountable when they refuse to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled employees or pregnant workers.

Wage and Hour Violations and Unpaid Overtime Claims

California wage and hour regulations are strict, yet companies routinely shortchange employees to cut payroll expenses. If you need to consult an attorney regarding unpaid compensation, HKM Employment Attorneys LLP aggressively prosecutes wage disputes. The firm represents individual employees and groups in class actions involving:

• Unpaid overtime and minimum wage: Recovering back pay for hours worked beyond eight hours in a day or forty hours in a week.
• Missed meal and rest breaks: Demanding statutory premium pay for employees denied uninterrupted meal or rest periods.
• Independent contractor misclassification: Challenging the illegal classification of regular employees as independent contractors to evade payroll taxes and benefits.
• Off-the-clock labor: Securing compensation for pre-shift prep, post-shift closing tasks, and mandatory remote communications conducted off the clock.
