EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION
At Pasic Law, we focus our employment law practice on the zealous advocacy of employee rights in California. We represent employees who are:
-
Discriminated on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or disability
-
Misclassified
-
Denied wages including overtime, meal and rest breaks, or commissions
-
Sexually harassed
-
Wrongfully terminated
-
Retaliated against for blowing the whistle or speaking up against their employer's illegal conduct
-
Injured and/or
-
Who had their privacy rights violated or their character defamed
In addition to fighting for employee rights, at Pasic Law we also stress the importance of claim prevention and early intervention to avoid costly employment disputes which can and should be avoided for the benefit of employer and employee alike. In that regard, we provide employers compliance advice with most up-to-date state and federal laws and services including drafting and revising employee handbooks and company policies and advising on best practices in the areas of independent contractor/employee distinctions, disability accommodations, workplace harassment, equal pay, layoffs, involuntary terminations, employee severance and non-compete agreements, and diversity and inclusion.
When litigation cannot be avoided, we use our knowledge of employment laws and our extensive experience in the courtroom to advocate and fight for our clients strategically from inception through trials and appeals.
