Unpaid wages, commissions, and overtime. California law requires employers to submit timely payment of all wages and commissions that are owed.

Sexual harassment can take many forms in the workplace, including unwanted advances, inappropriate touching, suggestive conversations and behavior, and making conditions of employment contingent on performing a sexual act.
When sexual harassment occurs, employers are also required to promptly investigate and take action to stop any violations. If you have been victimized by sexual harassment in the workplace, including insufficient employer actions to make harassment cease, the Irvine employment attorneys at Work Lawyers PC can help.

Wrongful termination and retaliation. Being fired as a result of discrimination or retaliation is often illegal, under both California and federal law. Common instances of employers violating workers rights’ include wrongful termination for reasons of discrimination (like those based on race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation) and retaliation against whistleblowers who report safety violations or other unlawful practices.
