Employment Law Attorneys

At Hanning & Sacchetto, our Whittier employment law attorneys are dedicated to protecting California workers from unlawful workplace treatment. Every employee deserves to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and unfair pay practices. Unfortunately, many employers violate these rights through illegal actions or neglect of their legal responsibilities.

Our experienced lawyers represent employees across California who have been mistreated, underpaid, or wrongfully terminated. We take pride in standing up for individuals whose voices are often ignored by powerful employers, large corporations, and insurance defense teams, beginning with a free consultation.

Understanding Employment Law in California

California provides some of the strongest employee protections in the nation, but enforcing those rights often requires skilled legal representation. Employment law covers a wide range of workplace issues, including discrimination and harassment, unpaid wages, and wrongful termination.

Our Whittier employment law attorneys help workers understand their rights under both California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Common legal protections for California employees include the right to:

• Be free from discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
• Receive equal pay for equal work.
• Take job-protected leave for medical or family reasons.
• Work in an environment free from harassment or retaliation.
• Be paid for all hours worked, including overtime.

Even with these protections, employers sometimes act unlawfully, whether through intentional misconduct or willful ignorance. Our labor law attorneys in Whittier step in to ensure that every violation is investigated and addressed.

Common Employment Law Issues We Handle

At Hanning & Sacchetto, our Whittier employment dispute lawyers represent employees in a wide range of cases involving workplace misconduct.

Including:

• Wrongful Termination

Being fired for an illegal reason, such as discrimination, retaliation, or refusal to engage in unlawful activity, violates California law. We help employees pursue justice and compensation for these wrongful actions.

• Workplace Discrimination

Our employee rights attorneys in Whittier protect workers who have been denied opportunities, promotions, or fair treatment because of their race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristic.

• Harassment and Hostile Work Environment

No one should be forced to tolerate harassment from supervisors, coworkers, or customers. Whether it involves unwanted advances, offensive jokes, or intimidation, we hold employers accountable for failing to prevent or address harassment.

• Wage and Hour Violations

Employees have the right to be paid for every hour worked, including overtime. We handle cases involving unpaid wages, missed meal and rest breaks, and employee misclassification.

• Retaliation and Whistleblower Protection

Workers who report illegal conduct or unsafe working conditions are legally protected from retaliation. If your employer punished you for speaking up, our Whittier employment law lawyers can help you pursue justice.

• Disability and Medical Leave Violations

Employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities and allow qualifying medical or family leave. We advocate for workers whose rights have been denied or ignored.

How Employers Violate Employee Rights

Employers may try to hide illegal practices under the guise of “policy decisions” or “performance issues.”

Some of the most common tactics include:

• Terminating employees shortly after a complaint or medical leave request.
• Paying workers as “independent contractors” to avoid benefits or overtime pay.
• Ignoring harassment complaints or failing to investigate them properly.
• Creating a hostile environment to force employees to quit voluntarily.
• Retaliating against whistleblowers for reporting unsafe or unlawful conduct.

Our Whittier employee rights attorneys understand how employers operate and what evidence is needed to prove retaliation or discrimination. We gather documentation, witness statements, and digital records to build a strong case on your behalf.
