California Laws That Protect Employees

Employees in Huntington Beach are protected by some of the strongest labor laws in the nation.

Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)

Government Code §12940 prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in employment. The statute makes it unlawful:

“For an employer… to discriminate against the person in compensation or in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment.”

FEHA applies to most employers with five or more employees and provides broad remedies.

California Labor Code

The Labor Code governs wages, overtime, meal and rest breaks, expense reimbursement, and retaliation protections.

Labor Code §1194 provides:

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

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

Common Signs of Workplace Violations

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

• Sudden negative performance reviews after years of positive feedback.
• Pay discrepancies compared to coworkers.
• Being passed over for promotion without explanation.
• Schedule changes or discipline after reporting concerns.
• Pressure to resign following complaints.

Employers often attempt to justify these actions as performance-based or business decisions. The underlying motive is what matters under the law.

How a Huntington Beach Employment Law Attorney Can Help

Employers control personnel records, payroll systems, and internal investigations. That imbalance can make it difficult for employees to prove violations without legal support. An employment attorney can:

• Evaluate whether your employer’s conduct violates California law.
• Identify all potential claims tied to your situation.
• Gather and preserve critical evidence.
• File administrative complaints with the California Civil Rights Department.
• Negotiate settlements or pursue litigation when necessary.

Strong legal representation also helps protect you from retaliation during the process.
