Having a boss at the work place is something common for most of the people. Most men have a boss at home too, but that is another issue. Beeing an employee has some advantages and some disadvantages. The advantages are that overtime work is optional and you don’t have any headache if the end of the month is comming and the company doesn’t have enaugh turnover in order to pay the wages and many other issues. But not having enaugh money might mean that the employee doesn’t get his salary in time. This is only one example of how a business owner can break labor laws.

Other common rights that are often not respected by bosses are: employee discrimination or termination based on age, national origin, sex, pregnancy, religion, sexual orientation or marital status, disability, taking a medical leave or a leave to care for a sick parent or child, complaints about wage violations (delayed payment, nonpayment of minimum wage, overtime compensation), complaints about illegal practices or workplace safety. In California none of the above can be a legal reason for terminating an employee and cannot be taken into consideration as selection criteria. There are many other legal rights that an employee has, but it is to no use if people don’t know their rights.

But guess what? There are people specialized in all aspects of employment litigation. Are you looking for California labor attorney? Lauren Mayo-Abrams has received her Masters in Communications from University of Southern California. She specializes in empoyment litigation and is known to have won quite a number of trials. For more information about her studies and about the organizations she is a member of please visit this website.

Are you looking for more than one labor lowyer in California? Marqui Hood and Elisabeth Sedano are also working in the office of Lauren Abrams. They both have experience in employment litigation and can represent any person that thinks the labor laws have been broken or just want to know more about their rights. I know myself that having a specialized lawyer on your side can help you a lot, I could have lost a lot of money because of my boss but thanks to these specialized people I won the trial. Don’y worry about the money you have to pay them, once you win the trial you can ask the employer to pay every dollar you spent on this.
