Do You Work in Factory and Need an Employee Rights Lawyer?

Matern Law Group, PC is an employment law firm with locations throughout California.

We have handled many cases involving claims for unpaid wages, harassment, discrimination, meal breaks, paid leave, and other issues for factory employees.

California factory workers are protected by robust state laws designed to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and proper treatment on the job. Employees are entitled to at least minimum wage and must receive overtime pay when working more than eight hours per day or 40 hours per week. Additionally, California law mandates that workers receive appropriate meal breaks and rest periods, generally including a 30-minute unpaid meal break if their shift exceeds five hours and a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked.

Safety in the workplace is another critical aspect of factory workers’ rights. Under the California Occupational Safety and Health Act (Cal/OSHA), employers must maintain safe and healthy work environments by complying with specific safety regulations and standards. Workers also have the right to report unsafe conditions without fear of retaliation or discrimination, and they may refuse hazardous work if it poses an immediate danger to their health or safety.

Factory workers facing violations of their employment rights, including wage theft, unsafe conditions, or discrimination, can pursue legal remedies through state agencies or courts. California laws explicitly prohibit employers from retaliating against workers who assert their legal rights, file complaints, or participate in investigations. Employees who experience violations are encouraged to consult with an employment attorney to better understand their options and secure the protections they deserve.
