California Employment Laws That Protect Workers

Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)

Government Code §12940 states:

“It shall be an unlawful employment practice… to discriminate against the person in compensation or in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment.”

FEHA protects employees from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation and applies to most employers in California.

California Labor Code

The Labor Code governs wages, overtime, meal and rest breaks, and employee protections. Labor Code §1194 states:

“Any employee receiving less than the legal minimum wage or the legal overtime compensation… is entitled to recover… the unpaid balance.”

Labor Code §2802 also requires employers to reimburse necessary business expenses.

Common Signs of Workplace Violations

Employment violations are not always obvious. Warning signs may include:

• Sudden discipline after reporting concerns.

• Unequal pay or denied promotions without explanation.

• Missed breaks or unpaid overtime.

• Pressure to resign following complaints.

• Inconsistent enforcement of workplace policies.

These patterns may indicate unlawful conduct under California law.
