In California, there are laws in place that protect workers from discrimination in the workplace. These statutes are enforced by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and generally apply to employers who have more than five employees on their payroll.

Employers are prohibited from discriminating against current employees and/or job applicants due to the individual’s membership in a protected class.

Under California employment law, workers are protected from illegal discrimination based on:

⚖️ Age
⚖️ S*x
⚖️ Marital Status
⚖️ Race or Ethnicity
⚖️ Ancestry or National Origin
⚖️ S*xual Orientation
⚖️ Gender Identity or Gender Expression
⚖️ Religion
⚖️ Mental or Physical Disability
⚖️ Medical Conditions
⚖️ Genetic Information
⚖️ Military and Veteran Status

Our Los Angeles employment discrimination lawyers help clients take legal action when they experience:

⚖️ Pregnancy Discrimination
⚖️ Disability Discrimination
⚖️ Race Discrimination
⚖️ Gender Discrimination
⚖️ S*xual Orientation Discrimination

Tip pools are common in the services industries, including restaurants, car washes, spas, salons, casinos, and other employees. Although some tip pools are legal, many are not. Watch out for these common pitfalls in employer-mandated tip pools!

Catcalling that occurs in the workplace is illegal.

Federal and California anti-discrimination laws prohibit s*xual harassment in the workplace.

🚫 S*xual harassment includes:
🚫 Verbal conduct of a s*xual nature;
🚫 Physical conduct of a s*xual nature;
🚫 Unwelcome s*xual advances; and
🚫 Offensive comments about someone’s s*x, pregnancy/childbirth, s*xual orientation, or gender.

These behaviors align with many of the catcalling people have had to endure in and around the workplace.

If the conduct is s*xual, unwelcome, and “severe and pervasive,” it is illegal s*xual harassment.

“Severe and pervasive” means that while an isolated incident of offensive behavior is not actionable, a pattern of behavior is. If enduring catcalling is a condition of your employment, or if the catcalling is so severe in your workplace that a reasonable person would deem your workplace a hostile environment, you have a viable harassment complaint.

Today is National Whistleblower Day! It is a day to recognize whistleblowers that report a wide variety of misconduct.

If your co-workers or supervisors are engaging in illegal conduct, or if you have been retaliated against for raising compliance concerns, know that you are not alone.

Illegal conduct at work is extremely common.

While the Whistleblower Protection Act is designed to safeguard employees, it can only do this if the law has been appropriately upheld.

State and federal law protect you from retaliation for raising concerns about your employer’s illegal conduct. So whether you stand up for your right to legal wages or working conditions or call attention to unlawful conduct by your company or co-workers, you are protected from retaliation by your employer.

Today is National Disability Independence Day in honor of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), signed in 1990.

Although the United States has made significant strides in treating individuals with disabilities, some employers still discriminate or fail to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.

Luckily, California offers broad protections for people with disabilities and those with any disease, condition, anatomical loss, disorder, or disfigurement that substantially limits their ability to participate in meaningful life activities, like working.

Additionally, employees who recently had cancer, or any other medical impairment or condition, either temporary or permanent, are entitled to fair treatment under the law.

The same goes for employees with mental or emotional conditions related to clinically diagnosed anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, depression, post-natal stress, or ADHD.

Under the ADA and other state and federal laws, employers MUST provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees to let them keep working. The law also bans employers from retaliating against employees for asking for leave or accommodations.

You can sue your employer for damages if you are discriminated against or denied reasonable accommodations!

If you believe you have experienced workplace disability discrimination, our experienced attorneys are here to help. We provide free, confidential consultations to California workers. Contact us as soon as possible to ensure your claim is still within the time limits set by law.

Employee disputes regarding stock options and equity agreements are on the rise.

Whether an entry-level employee or a highly paid executive, the spread of stock options and other equity grants as long-term performance-based compensation means you must be on the lookout.

Since 1955, California courts have consistently held that agreements to provide stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), or other ownership rights count as wages under the California Labor Code.

How does that impact you?

The courts' decision means that once equity vests, an employee's shares CANNOT be taken away without compensation under California law.

If an employer fails to transfer ownership, refuses to allow an employee to exercise options, or attempts to claw back ownership, the employer's conduct is illegal.

However, these rights only apply to vested stock and equity grants. "Vesting" means the employee has met any preconditions to earning shares or options. Vesting is critical because the company sometimes can take away unvested stock but cannot do the same to vested equity.

Every worker in California is entitled to receive all compensation benefits promised when they started working, including their right to stock or equity. If you have an employee stock agreement or were promised equity to join your company, ensure you're protected and understand your rights about getting your shares.

King & Siegel LLP welcomes you to contact our legal team at www.kingsiegel.com or (213) 465-4802. We can help you get the equity you were promised.

Unlimited vacation plans are bad for employees.

In California, among other states, your company must pay you for unused vacation time when you leave the company. However, by switching to an unlimited vacation plan, companies no longer have to pay out this time when you leave — even if you never take a day of vacation. Additionally, these plans allow employers to reduce their financial investment.

Vacation pay is not a gratuity. It is not a gift.

Your PTO is part of your compensation package. Once earned, your employer must pay out each PTO hour at the end of their employment at their then-rate of pay. In other words, PTO becomes more valuable over time. Once accrued, your PTO is yours.

Every worker in California is entitled to receive all compensation benefits promised when they started working, including a right to be paid out for unused vacation.

If you’re having trouble getting your accrued vacation paid, you likely have a legal claim against your employer. Additionally, if your company is rolling out their unlimited vacation plan as a way to cause you to take fewer vacation days, it might be illegal.

Happy pride month!

Did you know that California is home to critical laws that protect employees from employer discrimination, whether such discrimination is for someone’s s*xual orientation, expression, or identity?

Such laws include the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Unfortunately, workplace discrimination still runs rampant.

Some of the cases where we successfully supported our clients in getting their rightful recompense have included circumstances where:
🏳️‍🌈 Individuals who are le***an, gay, bis*xual, and transgender (LGBT) have received unequal wages or salaries;
🏳️‍🌈 Companies have refused to give any job positions to or promote LGBT individuals;
🏳️‍🌈 Employers have fired individuals for admitting they were LGBT;
Supervisors have cut LGBT people’s hours, benefits, promotions, or opportunities;
🏳️‍🌈 Employers and/or colleagues have participated in overt or subtle bullying and harassment targeting an employee’s s*xual orientation, such as name-calling, crude gestures, or other demeaning behavior.

If you believe you are being discriminated against in the workplace based on your s*xual orientation, expression, or identity, King & Siegel LLP welcomes you to contact our legal team at www.kingsiegel.com or (213) 465-4802.

While digital platforms enabling remote work rose in the 2010s, the pandemic revolutionized how we view labor.

"Work" is no longer limited to a brick-and-mortar business mentality. Depending on your company's policies, you can work from anywhere!

Remote work makes employment more enjoyable and liberating, but that doesn't mean there aren't some struggles that come with this shift. It is easy to fall into the trap of over-working and not differentiating work from home life.

Follow our three tips and tricks to working productively at home while ensuring a work-life balance.

Algorithms are considered objective, impartial decision-makers. But algorithms are programmed by humans. They rely on past data to make future predictions, which means they are rarely free from bias and can reinforce past stereotypes and patterns. Thus, algorithms can negatively affect employment opportunities and can discriminate, even if they appear “neutral.”

At King & Siegel LLP, we have helped hundreds of workers stand up to their employers. If you believe you have been adversely affected by algorithm bias at your job, we are here to help.

We provide free, confidential consultations to California workers.

You should contact us as soon as possible to ensure your claim is still within the time limits set by law. Contact us today through our website, www.kingsiegel.com, or give us a call at (213) 465-4802 to schedule a free consultation.
