Employment Lawyers – Edgar Law Firm
Employment law is a broad legal area pertaining to labor regulations on both the federal and state levels. It covers all relationships between employers and employees, including minimum wage regulations, employment discrimination, wrongful termination, worker’s compensation, workplace safety, and sexual harassment. Employment law statutes are set in place to protect the rights of the labor force and each worker’s constitutional right to fair treatment. Sadly, many employers violate employment laws and can, therefore, be held liable for their actions. Employment laws in California are complex and often require assistance from a qualified employment lawyer, who can help you understand how employment laws affect you and determine if you may be entitled to damages under state or federal statutes.

Employment Law Violations in Santa Rosa / Novato, CA
Violation of employment law on the part of an employer is a serious legal issue that can adversely affect the employee’s ability to earn a suitable income, provide for his or her family or seek employment. In such cases, the employer may be held responsible and required to compensate the victim for loss of income, legal fees and emotional suffering. If more than one individual is affected by the employer’s actions, labor law violation claims may lead to class action lawsuits. Employers may also be held liable for failing to hire and/or accommodate persons with disabilities under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).
In addition to employment laws, laborers are further protected by amendments contained in the U.S. Constitution and some state constitutions. When employers knowingly violate state and federal employment laws, and their actions lead to serious injuries or wrongful death, they may also face criminal charges. Punitive damages, designed to further punish the wrongdoers, are sometimes awarded as additional compensation to the victim.
