How You Can Protect Your Rights
If your work environment is harassing, discriminatory, or if you have been illegally or wrongfully terminated from your employment, there are many steps you can take to protect and preserve your rights under federal and California laws.
Stay Calm and Collected
It’s crucial not to say anything to your employer or anyone you work with that could depict you in a poor light or be used against you in litigation. It’s essential to stay calm while collecting as much information and evidence as possible that might support your case. You shouldn’t raise your voice or become confrontational. Doing so could be detrimental.
Report Any Infractions Promptly
If you are being treated poorly in any way, make sure you report the incidents promptly to the human resources department or a supervisor. Submit formal written complaints. Make copies of all documents that you submit and all the responses from your employer for your own records. Your Los Angeles employment law attorneys will want to see these and can use them to support your claim.
Keep A Record of Every Incident
Be sure to save them every record of an incident, for example, emails or internal memos. These might help establish the consistency with which the discrimination or harassment occurred. If possible, you should also obtain the contact information of other individuals who may have witnessed the incidents. Your Los Angeles employment law lawyers might be able to use their testimony to support your claim.

COMMON REASONS TO MEET WITH A EMPLOYMENT LAWYER
Los Angeles employment law attorneys can help with a number of employment issues and questions.
Some of the most common reasons employees seek advice from one include:
REVIEWING AN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT
You don’t have to be facing a hostile work environment or wrongfully terminated to seek help from an employment lawyer. Starting a new job is often an excellent reason to get legal counsel. An employment lawyer can review your employment offer to ensure that what you’re signing puts you in the best position possible as you start your new job. They can also help you understand your offer or any contracts you are required to sign.
HANDLING A WORKPLACE ISSUE
Workplace conflict is never easy to deal with. However, not every dispute needs to bring an end to your working relationship. An employment lawyer can help you evaluate the circumstances, as they have probably seen something similar before. They can provide suggestions on potential solutions that won’t bring an end to your employment relationship.
DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT
Discrimination and harassment are adverse realities in the work environment. While multiple laws prohibit such treatment, they both still occur regularly. Treatment of this type is never acceptable. Employment laws stand to protect employees from such behavior. There might be several potential solutions for workplace discrimination and harassment. Los Angeles employment lawyers can help you understand and select your options.
EXIT PACKAGE NEGOTIATIONS
Suppose you’ve been with an employer for a long time and decide it’s time to leave. In that case, there may be an alternative to announcing an imminent retirement. In some situations, an employment lawyer can help you, your employer, and their legal team to develop a gradual exit strategy that is agreeable to both you and your employer.
TERMINATIONS
After death or divorce, losing a job can be one of the most devastating losses you may ever face. Even though Los Angeles employment law attorneys may not be able to take the pain away, they can help ensure that your employer treated you fairly and that you were provided the best possible compensation for your specific situation.
