What Employment Laws Protect My Rights?

Thousands of state and federal laws and rules are in place to ensure workers are not taken advantage of. The statutes regulate all types of matters that can arise in the workplace, such as those involving discrimination, harassment, leave, and hours and wages.

In some cases, an employer or employee must meet certain criteria for specific laws to apply. For instance, a company may only be required to offer leave if they have a certain number of workers and the employee requesting leave must have worked for their employer for a specific amount of time. Because of the nuances of these laws and rules, it's crucial to discuss your situation with our employment law attorneys in San Diego. We'll provide sound counsel and advice and work to enforce the state or federal law that applies to your case.

A few of the federal laws in place that protect workers' rights include:

• The Family Medical Leave Act: Under this law, employers meeting certain criteria must offer unpaid medical leave to qualifying employees.
• Fair Labor and Standards Act: This law concerns the minimum wage employers are required to pay their employees. It also enumerates the situations in which an employer must pay their workers overtime.
• Age Discrimination Employment Act: Employers cannot discriminate against workers who are 40 years of age or older.
• Americans with Disabilities Act: Under this law, employers are prohibited from discriminating against current or potential employees with mental or physical impairments.
• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: This section of the Civil Rights Act provides that employers cannot make hiring or termination decisions based on a worker's physical characteristics, such as sex, religion, or race.

Although we have listed above federal laws concerning employees' rights, it's important to note that California also has laws to protect workers. Many of these statutes are similar to the federal laws, and some, such as those concerning minimum wages, offer greater benefits.
