Many employees believe that they do not have the right to hold supervisors, business owners and colleagues accountable for retaliation, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination or other forms of discrimination and unlawful treatment in the workplace.
The truth is that workers have protection under the law against unlawful employment practices. To learn more about your rights, call 916-473-1987, toll free 877-469-1494 or contact the Barron Law Corporation online.
Here to Protect Your Rights
Sacramento employee rights attorney Deborah Barron has been helping clients protect themselves against unlawful employment practices since 1991. She is here to make sure that you obtain justice and stop unlawful workplace actions, one case at a time.
Discrimination Is Illegal
Workers may not be discriminated against on the basis of age, disability, sexual orientation, political activity, religion, taking a family medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or pregnancy. Retaliation may not be taken against them if they acted as a whistleblower in their company or lodged a complaint against a supervisor or co-worker. Harassment, including sexual harassment, of an employee is also not allowed.
Discrimination and Damages
If you have been discriminated against, you have a right to pursue a discrimination lawsuit to recover compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Humiliation
- Emotional distress
- Medical bills relating to the unlawful treatment
- Counseling costs
- Lost wages

Making Sure Severance Packages Are Fair
If your employer has offered you a severance package in an effort to get you to leave the company, it is a good idea to have the agreement reviewed by a lawyer. We regularly review severance agreements to make sure that workers aren't giving up their rights. Often, workers have potential legal claims against the employer, but sign a severance agreement that eliminates the right to sue. We are available to review all aspects of your agreement and advise you accordingly.
