Are You a Healthcare Worker and Need to Know Your Rights?

We have handled many cases involving claims for unpaid wages, worker safety, sexual harassment, discrimination, denied breaks and more for employees in the healthcare industry.

In California, employees must be paid for all time worked. This applies to work carried out by employees before or after a shift, or any work done “off-the-clock” and not included in the time records. Furthermore, an employee is entitled to time-and-a half pay for hours worked over eight hours in any workday, and over 40 hours in a workweek.

California has some of the strictest employment laws in the nation, preserving your right to receive fair treatment and equal benefits and protecting you from being exposed to hostile or discriminatory acts in the workplace.

California law requires your employer to have an effective injury and illness prevention program (IIPP) that includes training and instruction on safe work practices and an effective system for your employer to communicate with you and your coworkers.

California law protects an employee’s right to take uninterrupted meal and rest breaks. If you fail to receive breaks or receive short, late, or interrupted breaks, your rights may be violated.
