Whistleblower Lawyers In San Jose & San Francisco Protecting Your Job And Your Rights
At the employment law offices in San Jose and San Francisco of The Navarette Law Firm, our commitment to workers' rights in whistleblower and employment law cases means that we use every available legal tool to help maximize the monetary value of your employment law case.
California law prohibits employers from firing, demoting, or taking what is called an "adverse employment action" against you for reporting or telling your employer that you are going to report any unlawful conduct such as a health or safety violation, not paying overtime or proper wages, or not giving uninterrupted rest or lunch breaks. These are just a few examples. If your employer retaliates against you because you refuse to engage in illegal activity, that is prohibited by law, so long as you have a good faith belief that your employer's conduct is unlawful. If any of this has happened to you, we can help you. Everything you tell us will be 100% confidential. You can reach us toll free at 1-866-994-BEST (2378).
The California Unfair Business Practices Act represents an especially powerful tool for bringing justice to workers whose rights have been violated by unlawful employment practices that might have gone on for many years. To learn more about the ways this law can help you and in your employment law case, contact our employment lawyers at The Navarette Law Firm for a free consultation and evaluation of your employment law whistleblower case today.
Whistleblower Lawyers In San Jose & San Francisco Use The Unfair Business Practices Act To Benefit Your WhistleBlower Case
Although it does not directly address employment law claims, the California Unfair Business Practices Act creates a right to collect damages (money) from companies engaged in "any unfair, unlawful or fraudulent business practice." California law acknowledges that this provision covers not only consumer affairs, but is also broad enough to cover prohibited employment practices in California, such as wage and hour violations like unpaid overtime, not being given uninterrupted meal periods or rest breaks, or any illegal activity that your employer has engaged in.
If your employment law case involves a violation of California statutes or regulations, then we can often use the California Unfair Business Practices Act to help strengthen your case. Because violations of this Act will support a claim for damages reaching back as far as four years, this can extend the period of unpaid overtime or uncompensated break periods that can be included in your lawsuit, which might otherwise be limited to a shorter period of time. What does that mean to you? It means greater compensation for your whistleblower or employment law case. So Contact us and find out if we can apply the Unfair Business Practices Act to your specific whistleblower or other employment law case.
San Francisco & San Jose Whistleblower Attorneys Use The Act As A Tool To Increase The Value Of Your Case
For most workers, the ability to recover damages for unlawful employer conduct reaching back four years will make a significant difference in the ultimate monetary value of your case. To see whether the Unfair Business Practices Act might apply to your whistleblower or workplace rights claim, contact the employment law attorneys at The Navarette Law Firm with offices in San Jose and San Francisco for a free consultation.
