California Laws Protect You

Discrimination
The CROWN (Create a Respectful and Open Workplace for Natural Hair) Act is a California law which prohibits discrimination based on hair style and hair texture and is the first legislation passed at the state level in the United States to prohibit such discrimination.
Harassment
It is unlawful to harass a woman because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth. Harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
Family Medical & Disability
An employer may not refuse to hire and may not discharge, fine, suspend, expel, retaliate or discriminate against any employee because he or she exercises their right to family care and medical leave.
Meal & Rest Breaks
In most circumstances, California law stipulates that hourly employees cannot work for more than five hours per day without being provided with at least one uninterrupted meal break of at least 30-minutes’ duration.
Overtime, Wage Theft & Unlawful Pay
An employee who is terminated or laid off must be paid all of his or her earned and unpaid wages, including unused vacation or other paid time off, at the time of termination.
Wrongful Termination
California law makes it illegal to fire an employee for engaging in certain legally protected activities, including: Making complaints about discrimination or harassment, taking a medically necessary leave, serving jury duty, serving in the military,taking time off to vote, an participating in workplace investigations
Whistleblower & Qui Tam
California whistleblower laws protect employees from retaliation by their employers for reporting illegal or unethical activities.
Class Actions
California class action lawsuits allow a group of individuals who have suffered similar harm or injury by the same defendant to sue collectively in a single legal action.
Consumer Protection
California consumer protection laws safeguard consumers against unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practices by businesses, covering a wide range of areas including product safety, privacy rights, and false advertising.
Data Privacy
California data privacy laws, notably the CCPA and the CPRA, provide consumers with extensive rights over their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their data by businesses.
Environmental Law
California environmental protection laws encompass a broad range of regulations designed to preserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and promote sustainability, making the state a leader in environmental conservation efforts.
Securities Fraud
California securities fraud laws prohibit deceptive practices in the buying, selling, or dealing with securities, including misrepresentation, insider trading, and manipulation of stock prices, to protect investors and maintain market integrity.
