California Employment Law Attorneys
Employment Discrimination · Harassment
Most Americans are devoted to their jobs. On average, people in the United States work more hours than do their counterparts in Western Europe. American workers pride themselves on doing a good day's work. When their devotion is repaid by illegal behavior on the part of the employer, employees suffer. CA has a strong law that protects its working people from discrimination and harassment on the job.
When an employer discriminates against an employee, fails to pay required overtime, or allows other employees to persist in harassing conduct, that employer is breaking the law. At Furtado, Jaspovice & Simons LC, our attorneys believe that the psychological injuries caused by this type of behavior are just as deserving of compensation as are physical injuries.
