From Defending Corporations to Defending People! ⚖️

I’m Nikki Staggs, a litigator of 13 years who spent most of her career in the courtroom defending Fortune 100 corporations to mid-size employers.

Now, I represent California employees in Labor & Employment disputes against their employer, including, but not limited to: whistleblower, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wage disputes, etc.

I know how companies think because I was in those rooms, giving advice and counsel and defending those corporations. Now, I use that experience to get justice when corporations cross the line.

*Straightforward advice. Relentless advocacy. That’s how I work.

📋 If you’re facing issues with medical, family, or disability leave don’t panic!

Start by reviewing your company’s leave policy and keeping all communications in writing. Provide any medical or supporting documents promptly, and make sure to follow up in email form.

If your employer ignores your documentation, delays your reinstatement, or retaliates for taking protected leave, you have rights. You can reach out to HR or consult with a California employment attorney to ensure your job is protected.

✨ Tip: Always keep copies of all correspondence, doctor’s notes, and approvals. Paper trails protect you.

📞 If you believe your employer mishandled your leave or retaliated against you, we’re here to help.

When a Firing Becomes Illegal in California ⚖️

California is an “at-will” state but that doesn’t mean your employer can fire you for any reason. Here are some examples of illegal termination:

1️⃣ Discrimination – Fired because of your race, gender, pregnancy, disability, age, orientation or religion. Etc.
2️⃣ Retaliation – Let go after reporting harassment, wage issues, discrimination or unsafe conditions. Etc.
3️⃣ Leave Violations – Losing your job for taking protected medical or family leave (CFRA/FMLA).
4️⃣ Whistleblower Retaliation – Terminated after reporting illegal or unethical behavior.
5️⃣ Breach of Contract – Fired despite having a valid written or verbal agreement with your employer.

💬 If any of this sounds familiar, you may have legal rights. Contact a labor and employment attorney.

California whistleblower laws make it illegal for your employer to retaliate when you report workplace hazards, safety violations, or other misconduct.

💥 Retaliation can look like:
• Sudden termination or demotion
• Reduced hours or pay cuts
• Exclusion from meetings or projects
• Negative performance reviews after you
speak up
• Threats, intimidation, or hostility

✅ Document everything. If you have an in person meeting with HR or management send a text or email, after, memorializing that conversation. Save a copy of EVERYTHING for yourself
✅ Report concerns properly.
✅ If you’re punished for doing the right thing you should consider contacting an employment attorney immediately.

You have the right to a safe workplace and protection from retaliation. The law is on your side.

💪 California Moms: Know Your Rights!

Just returned from maternity leave and wondering if you can pump at work?
Yes, you absolutely can!

Under California law your employer must:
✅ Provide reasonable break time to express milk.
✅ Provide a private, safe space, not a bathroom, for pumping.

This is a protected right, and your employer cannot retaliate, discriminate, or make your work environment hostile for exercising it.

If you notice that you’re being treated unfairly, denied time, or made to feel guilty for pumping:
📝 Make a paper trail.
Document every incident!!! Keep a copy for yourself of all emails, texts, and complaints to HR or management.
Save proof of any schedule changes, workload adjustments, or comments that follow your request.

Those records can make all the difference! Consult an employment attorney to protect your rights.

Because being a mom should never mean losing your job or your dignity. ❤️

⚖️ Did You Know?

Even temporary conditions like recovering from surgery, pregnancy-related complications, or an injury can qualify for reasonable accommodations under California law.

That means your employer may be required to:
✅ Adjust your schedule for medical appointments
✅ Provide light-duty or modified work
✅ Offer remote or hybrid work (when feasible)
✅ Allow time off to recover without retaliation

If your employer ignores your request, refuses to discuss options, or pressures you to quit that could violate your rights under California law.

💬 You have the right to an interactive process, a real conversation about what support you need to work.

If your employer shuts that down, we can help.

⚖️ Harassment vs. Discrimination in the Workplace What’s the Difference?

In California, these terms are often confused, but the law makes a clear distinction:

➡️ Discrimination is when an employer makes job-related decisions (hiring, firing, pay, promotions) based on a protected category (such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, s*xual orientation, pregnancy, or medical condition).
📌 Example: You’re denied a promotion because you are pregnant.
📌 Example: You’re fired after requesting medical leave to manage a serious health condition.

➡️ Harassment is unwelcome conduct directed at you because of a protected category (for example, comments or actions targeting your race, s*x, religion, disability, or age).
📌 Example: A manager makes repeated “jokes” about your accent.
📌 Example: A supervisor comments on your appearance in a s*xual way.

🚨 Both are illegal under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

✅ What You Should Do to Protect Yourself:
1. Document everything, keep emails, texts, notes of incidents (dates, times, witnesses).
2. Report it internally to HR or your supervisor (and keep a copy of the report in your own email, text, etc.)
3. Contact an employment attorney to protect your rights before deadlines run out.

✨ California Employees: Can You Get Paid During FMLA/CFRA Leave? ✨

Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave. But here’s the catch: this time is unpaid by default.

💡 The good news? You can usually use your accrued paid leave (like vacation or PTO) at the same time as FMLA/CFRA leave. That way, you keep receiving a paycheck while your job is protected.

✅ Vacation/PTO can always run concurrently.
✅ Sick leave can also run concurrently if you’re taking leave for your own serious health condition.
⚖️ This means you don’t have to choose between protecting your job and paying your bills.

If your employer is telling you otherwise, or making it harder than it should be you may have legal rights.
