Employment Law
Understanding Employment Law
Employment law covers nearly all areas of the employer and employee relationship. There are thousands of federal and state laws that are designed to protect workers' rights in a range of instances, from discrimination in the workplace to illegal wage practices and wrongful termination.
When these rights are violated, Thyberg Law can help you defend your livelihood and quality of life. Our Sacramento law firm is well-equipped to help clients handle a variety of employment law cases,
Our Main Areas of Employment Law
Sexual Harassment
Unwanted sexual comments, sexual gestures, and pressure to engage with someone sexually can result in an emotionally distressing workplace and make you feel as though you're not taken seriously in a professional setting.
Our employment lawyer can help bring sexual harassment to an end and make your place of employment safe again.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault in the workplace can manifest as unwanted physical contact, unwelcome sexual advances, and more. Whether an employer or a coworker has assaulted you, sexual assault in the workplace is a heinous violation of workers' rights.
You shouldn't have to leave your job to feel safe. Our labor law attorney can help you stand your ground, assert your rights, and make things right for yourself and your fellow employees.
Discrimination
Discrimination exists when an employer treats an employee unfairly due to a characteristic they view as unfavorable.
If you've been treated unfairly due to one of your legally protected characteristics, our employment lawyer can help you assert your rights and protect other people with these same characteristics.
Employment Law Protects You
From Discrimination
The core of workers’ rights aims to outlaw discrimination through a series of laws that ensure a safe work environment and a fair wage for work performed. When it comes to any employment decision—be it hiring, promotions, pay, benefits, firing, or anything else—discrimination laws prohibit employers from considering factors such as:
- Age
- Race
- Gender
- Religion
- Disability
- Pregnancy
- Marital Status
- National Identity
- Sexual Orientation
- Medical Conditions
How Else Our Lawyer Can Help
While sexual harassment, sexual assault, and discrimination are our main areas of employment law, we also help employees who are experiencing:
Workplace Harassment
Workplace harassment is any inappropriate act that results in a hostile work environment. Examples include slurs, mockery, insults, offensive jokes, and intimidation. An employee who endures unwelcome and offensive conduct in their place of employment is a victim of workplace harassment.
Family Medical Leave (FMLA) Discrimination
An employer may not prevent or retaliate against an employee who takes FMLA for pregnancy, disabilities, or other medically-substantiated reasons that fall under FMLA protections.
Whistleblower/Qui Tam Activities
Workers who report illegal activities are protected from retaliation by the employer under whistleblower laws.
