Have you been illegally fired? California labor laws are among the most progressive in the country. That doesn’t mean all of our employers are. In fact, illegal terminations, biased hirings, and general mistreatment of certain employees are commonplace throughout our state. This doesn’t mean you have to accept it.

The question of whether a worker is classified as an independent contractor or an employee under the law has significant consequences in terms of the legal protections afforded to workers.

If you believe you have been illegally fired from your job, our Redondo Beach wrongful termination attorneys can help. Drawing on years of experience, our attorneys are prepared to get to work on your case right away and to take it as far as needed to help ensure justice is served.

California enjoys some of the nation’s most impressive worker protections, but illegal termination, employment discrimination, and many other forms of mistreatment in the workplace still occur regularly. When you are fired for suspicious reasons, harassed, passed up for promotion, or faced with any other form of mistreatment, you need an experienced employment attorney on your side right away.

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee based on one or more factors unrelated to job ability. In the state of California, workplace discrimination may come in the form of being passed up for opportunity, promotion, or pay increases. It may also come in the form of harassment, bullying, and illegal termination.

Have you been unjustifiably terminated from your job? Do you suspect the reasons for your firing are illegal or unethical? If you live in Redondo Beach, South Bay, or anywhere in California and you have been wrongfully terminated, the employment attorneys at Kirtland & Packard can help.

If you are over the age of 40, there are laws protecting you against discrimination at your place of employment. In this short and informative video, Los Angeles work discrimination attorney Heather Baker Dobbs gives examples of what could be considered discrimination and what you can do if you suspect you are being mistreated due to your age.
