Employment Agreements & Other Contracts
Many California employers require new hires to sign and agree to an employment agreement. This is a legal contract that defines your relationship with the employer and potentially affects your rights. Consequently, it is always advisable to have a legal professional review a prospective agreement.
Our employment law attorneys can help you understand your rights, obligations, and benefits under these contracts. Our team can also identify and negotiate potential issues, including misclassification as an independent contractor or exempt employee.
In addition to employment agreements, our firm can also review a variety of other employee-facing contracts, including non-compete agreements, nondisclosure agreements, severance agreements and independent contractor / consulting agreements
Wage & Hour Disputes
Your employer is obligated to fairly pay you for all hours worked. They also must provide you with the legally required rest and meal breaks. Our team is extensively familiar with California’s confusing wage and hour rules and can determine if you have been appropriately compensated, and, if not, provide you with an assessment of available options. Typical wage and hour disputes include misclassification as an independent contractor, misclassification as an exempt employee, failure to pay for all hours worked, failure to pay overtime, failure to pay commissions, failure to provide the required meal and rest breaks, and failure to provide all wages owed at the end of employment.
Wrongful Termination
The common phrase “wrongful termination” can arise in a variety of situations. These situations include terminations resulting from discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, filing a workers’ compensation claim, raising questions about the labor laws, and more. Our lawyers are ready to provide skilled representation to help you understand your termination and explore all available legal options.
