Employment Law Attorneys Serving Sacramento
California has some of the strongest workplace protections in the nation. Our Sacramento attorneys help employees enforce those rights and pursue justice when employers violate state or federal law.
Employment Discrimination Attorneys in Sacramento
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits employers from discriminating based on race, gender, disability, pregnancy, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, and medical condition. FEHA requires that discrimination be a substantial motivating reason for the adverse action.
Common Sacramento discrimination issues include:
- Wrongful termination
- Unfair discipline or demotion
- Denial of promotions or raises
- Retaliation after medical leave or pregnancy disclosure
- Unequal treatment in assignments or scheduling
We assist clients with Civil Rights Department filings and right to sue procedures.
Sexual Harassment Lawyers in Sacramento
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome conduct such as inappropriate comments, touching, advances, or explicit messages. Harassment is illegal when it becomes severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile environment. Quid pro quo harassment is also unlawful. Employers are strictly liable for supervisor harassment and must correct coworker harassment promptly.
Sacramento workers frequently report:
- Sexual jokes or comments
- Unwanted physical contact
- Lewd texts or images
- Supervisor coercion
- Retaliation after reporting harassment
- HR failing to act on complaints
Retaliation and Whistleblower Claims in Sacramento
California Labor Code 1102.5 protects employees who report unlawful activity or safety violations. Under the Lawson ruling, employees must show only that protected activity
contributed to the adverse action. Employers then must prove lawful motives with clear and convincing evidence.
Retaliation commonly includes:
- Termination
- Sudden write ups
- Hostile treatment
- Reduced hours or shift changes
- Punishment after reporting discrimination or wage abuse
Wage and Hour Violations in Sacramento
We represent Sacramento workers in wage and hour cases involving:
- Unpaid overtime
- Off the clock work

- Misclassification
