What is Employment Law?

Our team is well-versed in the intricacies of state and federal employment regulations, enabling us to provide our clients with the highest level of expertise and guidance.

What Are My Basic Rights As An Employee?

Every person in the United States has certain rights working as an employee. The Ham Commission Report established these rights for workers. They include the following:

  • Your Right To Know: You are required to be made aware of the risks associated with the people you work with, equipment, materials, environment, and the job itself.
  • Right To Participate: You have the right to ask questions if you are unsure about the risk on your health or your co-worker’s. You can also report unsafe work environments to your boss.
  • Right To Refuse Unsafe Work: You have the right to refuse to work if you believe you or your coworker will be in danger.

If you believe you were denied these rights in your place of work by your employer, do not hesitate to contact K2 Employment Law. We are on your side and here to help you achieve justice. Call our office today to go through your case and schedule a consultation with our experienced employment law attorneys. 

What is Considered Unfair Treatment at Work?

Unfair treatment in the workplace is believing you have been discriminated against by your employer or supervisor. Unfair treatment can include a number of things, including but not limited to:

  • Your work was undermined even though you are competent at your job
  • Your manager took a dislike to you and made your life hard, unfairly condemning your work and assigning you degrading tasks
  • You are carelessly excluded from a promotion
  • You are constantly belittled
  • You are bullied and harassed at work
  • Unfair treatment at work usually overlaps with discrimination such as gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, pregnancy and age. 

If you believe you were treated unfairly in your work environment, do not hesitate to contact K2 Employment Law. Our Granada Hills employment law attorney is here to assist you; call us today for a consultation.

Understanding Discrimination in the Workplace

Discrimination is a form of unfair treatment in the workplace that can take many different forms. If you have been subject to discrimination, you may be entitled to legal recourse. Our Northridge employment law attorneys are experienced in handling discrimination claims and can help you understand your rights.

Some common forms of workplace discrimination include:

It is important to understand that discrimination is illegal, and you have the right to be treated fairly in the workplace. Our employment law attorneys can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights as an employee.

What to Expect from the Employment Complaint Process

If you believe you are the victim of wrongful employment actions or practices, the first step typically involves filing a formal complaint with the appropriate agency. Depending on the type of complaint you are filing—for example, discrimination, sexual harassment, or overtime violations—you will likely need to include information about yourself, your employer, the penalties you are claiming, and more in your complaint.

At K2 Employment Law, we can help you with all aspects of your employment law claim, including but not limited to:

  • Determining whether or not you have a claim under state or federal law
  • Ensuring that you meet the statute of limitations for filing
  • Correctly filling out and submitting the proper forms
  • Gathering and submitting necessary and supportive evidence
  • Negotiating with your employer and other appropriate parties
  • Representing you in litigation and courtroom proceedings when necessary
