What are your employee rights in California?
California employees have important rights related to fair pay, overtime, meal and rest periods, freedom from unlawful discrimination and harassment, and protection from retaliation for reporting potential violations or asserting workplace rights. Not every difficult workplace experience creates a legal claim, but an experienced employment attorney can help you understand the difference.
If you believe something is wrong, preserve relevant information such as emails, text messages, pay stubs, schedules, performance reviews, policies, and notes about important events. Do not alter documents or take information you are not authorized to access. Because employment claims can involve deadlines and procedural requirements, it is important to seek legal guidance promptly.
For employers, understanding these rights is essential to reducing risk. Clear policies, accurate wage practices, appropriate classification, timely investigations, and informed management decisions can protect both employees and the business.

Employment Law FAQs
Not every workplace problem is unlawful, but concerns involving unpaid wages, overtime, missed breaks, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblowing, worker misclassification, or wrongful termination may create legal claims. Janzen Law can evaluate the facts and help you understand your options.
Preserve relevant records, including emails, texts, pay stubs, schedules, performance reviews, written policies, and notes identifying dates, witnesses, and key conversations. Avoid altering records or taking confidential information you are not authorized to access. Speak with an attorney promptly because deadlines may apply.
California law generally prohibits retaliation against employees who report suspected legal violations, oppose unlawful conduct, request protected rights, or participate in a workplace investigation or legal process. Retaliation may include firing, demotion, reduced hours, pay cuts, discipline, threats, or other adverse treatment.
California is generally an at-will employment state, but an employer cannot terminate someone for an unlawful reason. Wrongful termination can involve retaliation, discrimination, protected leave, whistleblowing, or other violations of law or public policy. Whether a termination is legally actionable depends on the specific facts.
If your business hires, pays, manages, disciplines, terminates, or classifies workers in California, employment counsel can be valuable. Proactive legal guidance can help with policies, wage-and-hour practices, classification, workplace complaints, investigations, agreements, discipline, separations, and threatened claims.
Janzen Law can help identify and manage employment risk before it becomes a lawsuit. Services may include compliance counseling, policy review, wage-and-hour and classification analysis, management guidance, workplace investigations, and response strategies for employee complaints or agency matters. Employer-side firms commonly identify policies, training, agreements, classification, investigations, and risk prevention as central compliance services.
The cost depends on the legal matter, the scope of work, and the anticipated strategy. Some employee matters may be appropriate for contingency-fee representation, while employer counseling, contracts, and business litigation may use hourly, flat-fee, or retainer arrangements. Janzen Law will discuss the proposed fee structure before representation begins.
