Question 3

Is the ability to remove employees from work unrestricted in Corona?

Accepted Answer

No, the ability to remove employees from work is not unrestricted in Corona. A firing must not be an act of retaliation against a worker who has filed a lawful complaint against the business. Getting rid of personnel by systematically harassing them into resignation is also not allowed under the law.

Question 4

When do sexual advances in a Corona workplace go from playful teasing to harassment?

Accepted Answer

Sexual advances in a Corona workplace go from playful teasing to harassment when they are no longer welcome. It is incumbent upon the members of the workforce to stop their actions the moment their mates say no. As soon as the workplace begins to feel hostile and dreadful, one may file a formal complaint.

Question 5

Why do companies in Corona resort to employee misclassification?

Accepted Answer

Companies in Corona misclassify employees as independent contractors because of the economic benefits associated with the practice. An independent contractor is owed fewer benefits, like overtime pay and leaves. Thus employers are incentivized to hire individuals for contract work on a repeated basis instead of taking them in on the formal roster.

Question 6

Can someone who was not directly hit by sexual harassment still have cause to complain in Corona?

Accepted Answer

Yes, someone who was not directly hit by sexual harassment can still have cause to complain in Corona. If one sees damaging conduct directed at a co-worker, it could be argued that the conduct is threatening and discomforting for others in the workplace. Hence there could be a separate reason to claim that there is a hostile work environment even if one is not the actual victim.

Question 7

Is there cause to sue in Corona if an employer pays the minimum wage set in the Fair Labor Standards Act?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is cause to sue in Corona if an employer pays the minimum wage set in the Fair Labor Standards Act. The state law covering the metro imposes a more generous basic pay rate than similar federal legislation. In this conflict of laws, the standards set by California will take precedence over general guidelines.

Question 8

What does an employment attorney do?

Accepted Answer

Employment attorneys represent workers, companies, unions, and advocacy groups. Their primary job is preventing and resolving disputes related to state and federal employment regulations as well as civil rights. They assist with the development of policies, including laws and employee handbooks, and they represent clients in court and during administrative hearings overseen by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and state-level labor agencies.

Question 9

How much should I ask for in a discrimination lawsuit?

Accepted Answer

Employment-related claims are among the most complex and time-consuming lawsuits heard in the civil court system. Before workers can file a lawsuit, they must file a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Every year, the EEOC recovers $505 million for victims of workplace discrimination. When cases proceed to court, the average settlement is approximately $40,000. However, roughly 10% of claimants receive at least $1 million.

Question 10

How do I prove discrimination in the workplace?

Accepted Answer

Discrimination lawsuits are typically based on an established pattern of behavior in the workplace. Employment attorneys who handle these claims generally advise clients to gather evidence and document all instances of discrimination, harassment, or abuse, as they occur. The following documents are often vital for proving workplace discrimination:

Personnel files
Payroll records
Employee handbooks
Diary or journal entries
Medical or mental health records
Reports from witnesses
Photos or video footage
Physical evidence

Question 11

Can I sue my company for a hostile work environment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, offensive or unwelcome conduct that creates a hostile work environment and affects your terms of employment may give you reason to take legal action. However, rude or abusive behavior on its own isn’t illegal. It must also be tied to other legal issues, such as retaliation for reporting harassment or discrimination directed at members of a protected group.

Question 12

What is the EEOC?

Accepted Answer

The EEOC is the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It's a federal agency tasked with helping to enforce laws concerning discrimination in the workplace. Not all employers are covered under the EEOC. Typically, you have to work for an organization with at least 15 employees or for a labor union or agency to be covered by EEOC protections.

Question 13

How do I report an abusive boss?

Accepted Answer

If you believe you're being discriminated against, you have several options. First, follow internal reporting procedures with human resources or other leadership. You can also file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC. Talking to an employment attorney can help you understand your options and protect your interests.

Question 14

What laws protect employees from job discrimination?

Accepted Answer

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides employees with protection against discrimination based on a wide variety of factors, including national origin, sex, religion, race, and color.
The Age Discrimination Act of 1967 applies age to the protected class.
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 forbids sex-based compensation discrimination.
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 makes it illegal to discriminate on the grounds of disability in terms of employment decisions.
The Civil Rights Act of 1991 adds more protection and power to the federal government to enforce some of these laws.

Question 15

How do I file a wrongful termination claim?

Accepted Answer

You can file a wrongful termination claim with the EEOC online, via mail, or in person at various EEOC branch offices. You may be able to file a complaint with a state agency. To determine an appropriate plan of action and which organizations you can file with, speak to an employment lawyer.

Question 16

What is unfair treatment at work?

Accepted Answer

Unfair treatment is not the same as unlawful treatment. There aren't laws against unfair treatment, which can include a boss who generally bullies people into action or someone who doesn't make fair decisions about time off because of nepotism or mood. Such issues may not constitute a claim for a court argument or allegation, unlike unjust judgments made on the grounds of race or age. An employment attorney can clarify if unfair treatment is also unlawful.

Question 17

What are some workers\' rights related to injury and illness?

Accepted Answer

Employees have a variety of rights related to time off if they're injured or fall ill. For example, in workplaces covered by the Federal Medical Leave Act, workers are allowed to take up to 12 weeks off without losing their position in a company. The leave is unpaid unless PTO time can be used to cover it. Employees may also have rights to file a workers' comp claim if they're injured on the job. All of these laws cover different situations and types of employers, and an employment attorney can help you understand what rights you have.

Question 18

Can an employer force you to work?

Accepted Answer

This is a gray area in some cases, which is why it may be a good idea to consult an employment lawyer if you have concerns about your workplace. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration , workers have a right to refuse to work in dangerous situations. But the burden of proof that this is, in fact, the case, can weigh heavily on the employee.
