It’s no secret that California has some of the most worker-friendly employment laws in the United States. California, as well as Los Angeles County and City regulations protect the worker’s right to fair treatment and equal benefits. They prohibit hostile workplaces and discriminatory employment practices. If business owners violate their workers’ rights in California, they face severe fines and penalties.
However, some employers may mistakenly believe that they can skirt these laws or that they don’t apply to their business. The goal of our Los Angeles employment law firm is to hold these types of employers accountable and fight for employees to receive the compensation, benefits, and fair treatment they are entitled to.

Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats a worker unfairly based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or other legally protected characteristics. Under California law, employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for their health, a family member’s health, or bonding with a new child. Denying this leave could trigger employment discrimination claims. Los Angeles employers must also comply with the county’s Minimum Wage Ordinance (MWO), which mandates a minimum wage, paid sick leave, and additional protections for workers, especially in industries like hospitality and healthcare.
Discrimination can take many forms, including:
Several federal, state, and local laws protect employees in Los Angeles, including:
These laws protect employees in hiring, firing, promotions, wages, and working conditions based on company size and scope.

Workplace harassment includes any behavior that creates a hostile work environment, such as verbal or physical abuse, unwanted advances, or other actions that make an employee feel unsafe. The FEHA protects California employees from harassment based on protected traits like pregnancy, race, or religion. If you experience workplace harassment, report it to your employer. If the situation isn’t resolved or retaliation occurs, seek help from a Los Angeles employment law firm.
Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for an unlawful reason, such as race, gender, or reporting harassment. Retaliation is also illegal. If you’ve been wrongfully terminated or retaliated against, an employment attorney can guide you through your legal options and help you seek justice.
