Employment Lawyer In San Francisco

Labor laws are created and upheld to protect you and ensure your fair treatment in the workplace. These include state and federal laws outlined by the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Without labor laws, employers would be free to treat their workers unjustly with impunity. As a California worker, you deserve to be protected from unfair treatment in the workplace. A San Francisco employment lawyer at the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro can help your case.

Your Rights As A California Worker

It’s important to understand your rights as a California worker. Once hired in California, you are automatically afforded certain workers’ rights. Employers must respect and uphold these rights for all of their workers, regardless of an employee’s place of birth or legal status. Some of these rights include:

  • Adequate rest and meal breaks
  • Safe and healthy working conditions
  • Minimum wage and overtime compensation
  • Unemployment compensation
  • Injury compensation
  • Taking action, or ‘whistle-blowing,’ without punishment

Under state and federal law, employers are prohibited from violating or jeopardizing any of these rights. Failure to adhere to these rights can have legal consequences for employers.

Unlawful Acts Against Workers

Beyond failing to meet the needs of workers, there are other ways employers can violate your rights. Some of these unlawful acts involve issues including but not limited to:

  • Wrongful termination
  • Breach of contract
  • Defamation
  • Workplace discrimination
  • Workplace harassment
  • Failure to accommodate disabilities

Becoming familiar with the various ways employers can violate workers’ rights can give you an insight into whether you may have been the victim of an unlawful act.

When Employers Break Labor Laws

Although stringent labor laws exist in California, employers often break them. When workers’ rights are violated, they commonly feel overwhelmed, disempowered, and unsure of how to take action. But at the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro, we believe unlawful acts in the workplace can and should be challenged, and we stand ready to help you. If you suspect that you or someone you know has experienced any of the rights violations outlined in the lists above, you may have the option to take legal action.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation

When working with you, we will take the time to hear and truly understand your position before setting to work building your case:

  • Analyzing how individual laws apply to your specific circumstances
