FAQS
My boss insulted me. Can I sue for Hostile Work Environment?
The short answer is no. In order to have a case for Hostile Work Environment, the hostile actions must be severe and consistent. If you believe you are being subjected to a Hostile Work Environment, contact us for a free consultation and case evaluation.
Do I have a right to reasonable accommodations because of my pregnancy or disability?
Generally, yes. Your employer is required to provide you with reasonable accommodations that allow you to fulfill your employment obligations/duties. Some examples of these include additional breaks, a special chair, and time off for doctors’ appointments and medical treatment.
Is my job protected while I am on leave?
Generally, yes. Employers cannot retaliate or penalize you for being pregnant or taking leave. Your employer cannot demote you, lower your pay, reprimand you, or terminate you.
How much time can I take off for pregnancy/childbirth?
If you qualify for California Family Rights Act (“CFRA”) protection, you are entitled to up to 12 weeks leave and baby bonding time.
What do I do if I am fired, demoted, or reprimanded for reporting discrimination or other illegal practice to my employer?
If you are terminated, demoted, reprimanded, or subject to other adverse employment action after reporting discrimination, harassment, or other/wrongful illegal practice to your employer, you are likely being retaliated against for either engaging in a protected activity or as a whistleblower. It is unlawful for your employer to be upset, retaliate, or treat you differently for speaking up. If you believe this has occurred to you, even if your employer claims it’s because of a completely unrelated reason, you should contact West Coast Employment Lawyers right away.
