Under California and federal law, employees have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination in the workplace. The law prohibits employers from taking adverse actions against individuals based on race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, military and veteran status, age (40 or over), or pregnancy-related conditions. Unlawful employment practices include refusing to hire, refusing training opportunities, discharging from employment or training, and discrimination in compensation or employment terms.

If you have faced discrimination at work based on a protected characteristic, you may have a claim under California or federal anti-discrimination laws. Our attorneys handle discrimination cases throughout California. Contact Antonyan Law, APC, for expert legal counsel and a free initial consultation.

Employment Discrimination

At Antonyan Law, APC, we understand that wage and hour violations can take many forms, including minimum wage violations, failure to pay overtime, and misclassification of exempt employees, among others. We pride ourselves on helping employees hold employers accountable for failing to comply with state wage and hour laws.

We manage two main types of wage and hour disputes: individual actions for single employees and class action disputes. These disputes may involve issues such as overtime, meal breaks, pay stubs, time off requirements, wage statements, final paychecks, and more.

If you are a current or former employee who has not been adequately compensated or feels you were treated unfairly by your employer, contact us for a free consultation.

Unpaid Wages

In California, employers can generally terminate employees without giving a reason because California is an at-will employment state. However, if you are terminated for an unlawful reason, you may be entitled to compensation for the resulting damages. Wrongful termination can occur due to breach of contract, discrimination, or violation of public policy. If you have a contractual agreement specifying your employment terms, your employer must honor it and can only terminate you for good cause.

Discrimination based on age, race, gender, disability, or medical condition is unlawful. Additionally, employees are protected from being fired for refusing to engage in illegal activities or reporting an employer's violations. At Antonyan Law, APC, we are dedicated to fighting for your rights and can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation.
