Job regulations and rules can be difficult to navigate if you have questions about your current employment, feel that you have been terminated wrongfully, or feel that you have suffered some type of discrimination in the work force. Finding answers to your questions can take a lot of time to sift through, so here are some of the most frequently asked questions about job rules and statutes, along with some basic answers to questions that you may have. - What is the current minimum wage according to California job statutes and regulations? Generally speaking, the current minimum wage for the state of California is $8 per hour. There can be many exceptions to the minimum wage that is set, including legal apprenticeships, wages paid to immediate family of the employer, employees who are training, or a few other specific examples.
- What do I do if my employer is not paying the minimum wage required? If your employer is not following the legally minimum wage, you can file a wage claim at the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, or you can also file a lawsuit in court against your employer with the aid of a good attorney.
- What constitutes discrimination in the work place, according to the state of California? California defines discrimination in the work place as any type of discrimination based on an employee’s “protected characteristics.” This includes your “race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation.”
- What do I do if I am being discriminated against in the work place? If you feel that you are being discriminated against in the work place in any on of the legally protected characteristics listed by the state of California, and you don’t feel safe in reporting this discrimination to a supervisor, one of the best things that you can do is to work with a lawyer who is well-versed in handing discrimination cases and licensed in your state to practice.
- How do I know if I have been wrongfully terminated? This can be a tough one to fight under California job rules, and may require the services of a good lawyer. Because California is an “at will” employment state, the employer is not required to have a good reason to terminate the employee. However, any reason that violates your legally protected characteristics may be grounds for action. Consult a lawyer familiar with Los Angeles employment law to see if you have a good claim.
