Employment Law

  • Employee Rights

    From your first shift, California law gives you more than just a paycheck. You have rights tied to your status as a worker, how your employer pays you, and how they treat you at work. Those rights matter early, because many problems start small

  • Workplace Discrimination

    California law protects you from unfair treatment based on key parts of your identity. These protections are broad, and in many cases they are stronger than federal rules. That means workers in California often have more room to challenge bias at work.

  • Wrongful Termination

    While California is an "at-will" employment state, this does not give employers unlimited power to fire employees. There are important exceptions that protect workers from being terminated for illegal reasons.

  • Wage and Hour

    In California, your rights are stronger than federal law in key ways, including a higher minimum wage and tighter rules for overtime, meal periods, and rest breaks. That matters because wage theft often shows up in small ways

  • Leave and Accommodations

    If your employer has denied your leave request, refused to provide reasonable accommodations, or retaliated against you for exercising these rights, Casa Legal Group is here to help.

  • Retaliation and Whistleblowing

    If your employer has punished you for reporting wrongdoing or exercising your legal rights, you may have a retaliation claim. Casa Legal Group represents whistleblowers and retaliation victims

  • Severance and Contracts

    When you're offered a severance package, it's crucial to understand exactly what you're agreeing to before signing. Many severance agreements require you to waive your right to sue your employer.

  • Workplace Safety & OSHA

    Your employer has a core duty to make the workplace as safe as reasonably possible. That duty looks different in a warehouse than it does in a hospital, office, kitchen, or construction site.
