Employment Law Cases We Handle in Huntington Beach
California offers some of the broadest employment protections in the United States. The following are the practice areas our attorneys handle for Huntington Beach employees and workers throughout Orange County.
Wrongful Termination
California is an at-will employment state, but that does not mean your employer can fire you for any reason. It is illegal to terminate an employee based on discrimination, in retaliation for reporting illegal activity, or in violation of an employment contract. If you were fired after reporting harassment, taking protected leave, filing a workers’ compensation claim, or speaking up about illegal conduct, your termination may be unlawful. Our wrongful termination lawyers will evaluate whether you have a claim and help you pursue full compensation.
Workplace Discrimination
Both state and federal law prohibit employment discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, and other protected characteristics. California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) applies to employers with even one employee and provides protections that exceed federal standards. If you have been passed over for a promotion, subjected to unequal pay, or treated differently because of who you are, contact a Huntington Beach employment attorney to discuss your options. Our workplace discrimination lawyers have handled cases against employers of every size.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal under California and federal law. It includes unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexual comments, inappropriate physical contact, and any other conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile or intimidating work environment. The harasser can be a supervisor, a coworker, or even a client or vendor. Employers have a legal obligation to prevent and correct sexual harassment, and when they fail to do so, they can be held liable. If you have experienced sexual harassment in Huntington Beach or anywhere in Orange County, you deserve immediate legal help.
Wage and Hour Claims
California has strict wage and hour laws governing minimum wage, overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, and employee classification. If your employer has misclassified you as an independent contractor, failed to pay overtime, denied required breaks, or taken any other unauthorized deductions from your wages, you may have a valid wage and hour claim. Our attorneys will make sure you recover every dollar owed to you under California law.
Whistleblower Protection
California Labor Code § 1102.5 and other state and federal laws protect employees who report their employer’s illegal activity from retaliation. Whether you have reported safety violations, financial fraud, regulatory violations, or other misconduct, your employer is prohibited from firing, demoting, or otherwise punishing you for speaking up. The whistleblower attorneys at Rubin Law Corporation have represented clients in qui tam cases, retaliation claims, and whistleblower lawsuits throughout Southern California.
Employer Retaliation
Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in a legally protected activity — such as filing a complaint, requesting a reasonable accommodation, taking protected leave, or participating in a workplace investigation. California law prohibits virtually all forms of employer retaliation and provides robust remedies for those affected. If you believe you have been targeted for exercising your rights, our employer retaliation attorneys will evaluate your case promptly.
Executive and Professional Employment Issues
Executives, managers, and professionals in Huntington Beach face unique legal challenges — from negotiating and reviewing employment contracts to handling non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and severance packages. Before you sign any contract or accept a severance offer, it is essential to have an experienced employment attorney review the terms on your behalf. The Rubin Law Corporation regularly advises senior professionals on executive employment matters throughout Orange County.
