Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cases does an employment lawyer in Monterey Park handle?
Employment lawyers in Monterey Park handle cases such as wage and hour disputes, discrimination based on race or gender, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and breach of employment contract. They also assist with claims under California's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).
How long do I have to file a discrimination claim in California?
Under California law, you generally have one year from the date of the discriminatory act to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). For federal claims under Title VII, you have 300 days to file with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Time limits are strict, so act quickly.
Can I be fired for no reason in California?
California is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can fire you for any reason that is not illegal. However, you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons, retaliation for reporting violations, or for exercising rights like taking medical leave. An employment lawyer can help determine if your termination was unlawful.
