Know Your Rights as a Worker Under the Law
The two key laws that affect employee rights in California are Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). These statutes broadly identify and forbid various forms of employment discrimination. For instance, an employer cannot fire or refuse to hire you based on certain protected traits and characteristics, such as race, sex, religion, or disability.
Employment discrimination also includes harassment based on a protected trait. So if you have suffered sex- or race-based bullying in the workplace that is severe or pervasive enough to affect your working conditions, then you can take your employer to court and seek compensation. Similarly, if you have been fired for filing a discrimination complaint or engaging in some other legally protected activity, you can file a wrongful termination lawsuit.
California employers are also subject to certain wage and hour laws with respect to working conditions. Most employers are required to pay a specified minimum wage and overtime pay under certain conditions. If your employer refuses to comply with these rules, you can take legal action. In some cases, the employer can face substantial damages for ignoring these wage and hour obligations.
How an Employment Attorney Can Help
Even when workers understand they have certain legal rights, they are often unsure of how to assert or enforce them against an employer. This is where working with a skilled lawyer can prove invaluable. At Litigation, P.C., our attorney works with these laws everyday, so we understand exactly what needs to be done in a given situation.
For example, in many employment discrimination cases, an employee must first file a complaint with either the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which enforce Title VII and the FEHA, respectively. This complaint is a necessary first step before an employee may file a lawsuit against an employer. However, there are other employment-related cases that do not require such an administrative complaint.
If you have additional questions or concerns, it is best to speak with a member of our team right away. Contact Litigation, P.C. today to schedule a free initial consultation.

“I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Hee and his team on an employment matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Hee demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law and provided clear, strategic guidance tailored to my situation.
Throughout the process, Hee and his team were not only professional and knowledgeable but also approachable and genuinely invested in my case. Their responsiveness and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time.
I highly recommend Attorney Hee to anyone in need of legal assistance. If my friends or family ever require legal support, I wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to Hee and his team. Their expertise, dedication, and client-focused approach truly set them apart.”

“I recently worked with Hee Kim to review an employment contract as I wanted a set of expert eyes on it. Hee was able to explain everything I had concerns about and was helpful in providing me comfort that I would receive what I expected. I would recommend working with him to anyone that needs an employment law professional.”

“Litigation, P.C. Law Firm represented me and they did a great job. Hee Kim did an awesome job making me feel cared for and he really listened to me. There were some mishaps on my end but they gave me all the tools I needed to find and present all my information needed for my case.
I had a great outcome and I was never judged by the firm which made me feel very comfortable. Mr. Kim was very friendly and made me feel right at home and taken care of.
I never had to the office and meet them and did everything online through Zoom and messaging when it was convenient for me.
I really recommend working with Hee Kim because he fought hard for me and after the case was closed I feel the best decisions were done and I believe having a piece of mind is the best thing for any client wanting to reach a just decision in their case.”

Law Firm is the most professional, caring, honest, and tenacious group of people I have ever met in the world of law. Their expertise and advice was exactly what I needed when determining how I wanted to move forward with my case. They were able to settle my case in a timely manner for a fair amount. The process isn’t straight forward for everyone, and they were able to clearly communicate every step of the way, which left me feeling very supported, confident, and put me at ease. Once my case was settled, the payment was very swift. I would absolutely use their services again should I ever be in need. Thank you to the entire team.”
