ENCINO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 7, 2022 / In California and across the United States, labor laws protect employees and contractors from being unfairly treated, discriminated against, and harassed. These laws also establish certain rights granted to both employees and job applicants alike.
Despite these protections, each year thousands of individuals are subject to unfair employment and business practices or other forms of discrimination or abuse.
At Hershey Law, its team of employment lawyers stands as a defender of such rights, fighting aggressively on behalf of employees to establish, assert, and defend these rights.
This quarter, the employment law firm discusses the importance of strong legal representation when facing some of the nation's largest corporations.
Discrimination and Unfair Treatment: an epidemic within California's workplaces
According to a CCP Global Human Capital Report and Pollack, a leader in conflict resolution, each year employees in California and across the nation spend nearly 3 hours a week involved in a workplace conflict. Such conflicts often have a cost that goes well beyond lost productivity, approximated at $359 billion annually.
In many cases, such conflicts lead to unfair, unjust, or discriminatory practices or treatment within the workplace. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reports nearly 70,000 charges of workplace discrimination each year.
Leveling the Playing Field for Employees Seeking Justice
Employees often have little recourse within the confines of their role, with human resources (HR) departments often more concerned about protecting the company and its bottom line than its employees.
Facing a large corporation as an individual can be daunting. Hershey Law wants California residents to know they are not alone in this fight. As a leader in employment law, its labor and employment attorneys are highly versed in navigating the complex laws surrounding employment rights and discrimination.
Its team helps level the playing field for wronged or discriminated against employees and contractors, wielding the full weight of its law firm to fight for justice and compensation.
Areas of Employment Law and Representation
Wage and Hour
California employers may fail to comply with state and federal wage and/or labor laws either knowingly or unknowingly. This may put employees at financial and other risks. Hershey Law can help employees assert their rights and get the compensation and justice they deserve.
Employer Retaliation
California law protects employees from employer retaliation. Those who have experienced an adverse employment action may have a case against their employer. Common means of retaliation include but are not limited to: demotions, termination, write-ups, reduced hours, reassignment of duties, increased supervision, and more.
Wrongful Termination
Employees may find themselves in challenging situations when asked to leave their place of employment. In some cases, employees are illegally terminated without cause. In such situations, terminated employees may be able to seek out compensation for wrongful termination.
Harassment
Harassment of any kind should never be tolerated in the workplace. Unfortunately, many workplaces foster, encourage, or turn a blind eye to toxic or abusive work environments. Harassment may take on many forms, ranging from malicious behavior to sexual advances. Hershey Law can help employees understand their rights and get the help they deserve.
Discrimination
Discrimination is a prevalent issue in workplaces, schools, and more. California laws protect individuals against discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, nationality, and religion. Those who feel that they have been treated less favorably or differently than peers or other colleagues may have grounds for filing a case to protect their rights.
Whistleblower
Whistleblowers are commonly the target of retaliation, threats, and other discriminatory practices designed to intimidate or punish those who step forward. Hershey Law helps protect whistleblowers when doing the right thing, ensuring that their actions don't negatively impact them personally or professionally.
