Working in the automotive repair industry leads to many issues.

Working in the automotive repair industry leads to many issues. These issues include the obvious: overtime, work injuries, and wrongful termination. The more complicated issues revolve around commissions, and often minimum wage. Mechanics at dealers often have doozy pay arrangements.

I did a radio show last night

I did a radio show last night about mediation and found myself at a mediation in Valencia bright and early this morning. The case involved a former CEO with breaches of contract and wrongful termination. It was good to resolve the case and the client was happy.

Employees who have been fired from their jobs

Employees who have been fired from their jobs might be protected from termination even if the medical issue was minor. California employees are entitled to use half of the sick leave they would accrue in a six month period of time. When calling a labor lawyer to discuss a potential termination due to an absence for sickness other than a qualifying condition under the CFRA/FMLA, or disability it is important to be able to tell the lawyer how often you accrued sick days, and how many you had left at the time of your job termination.

Job site safety is important regardless of what the job is. Here in construction you do not see a lot of obstacles on the floor. You can also see how the staircase cut-out is adequately framed off so nobody will fall down.
Complaints about job site safety can lead to wrongful termination is the employee is fired due to the complaint. At any one time we are handling lawsuits for employees who were fired for making safety complaints. It should not be this way, but it is.

Besides temporary staffing agencies, I have found a lot of companies have the philosophy employees are for sale just like office furniture. Often, the larger the employer the more likely they are to terminate an employee for something stupid. CVS, Home Depot, Ralph's, Target, the big banks, and Walmart seem over eager to end a long term employee's employment based upon one mistake. I am guessing these employers think it is easier to find a replacement than to excuse a single mistake in an eight to twenty year career.

Not a lot of people are out for a rest break in front of this Encino office building where I mediated a very interesting case today in which one employer committed marital status discrimination and wrongful termination when an employee voiced concerns over workers compensation rights for another employee, and pregnancy discrimination by the temporary agency employing her.

We represent all levels of healthcare workers from medical assistants in small San Fernando Valley area medical offices to doctors at important hospitals. Recently we have seen quite a few cases from aids in group homes reporting illegal conditions. Eight or nine years ago we had multiple cases from CNAs including ones in nursing homes fired due to their pregnancies.
Please contact our experienced employee labors if you have a wrongful termination or forced to quit case in California.

Rooftop view of Glendale. I spent today at a wrongful termination case in which my client blew the whistle on a food processing operation and was fired. This picture was taken at a mediation break.

I've gotta hand it to my Sherman Oaks staff, and particularly one of my paralegals, for putting together this cake on my birthday.
Burbank, California home of Disney Studios, NBC, Warner Brothers, other studios, and the high-rise office buildings in the background. Also home of Sardo’s where on Tuesday nights members of the industry (adult film industry aka porno stars) show up for karaoke. Never personally been inside for any reason. Today I am the neighborhood on a wrongful termination case mediation, and got coffee at the Starbucks in Vons.
Bison in the Santa Clarita Valley at the William S. Hart house. After prevailing at the administrative hearing last week in a community room on these Newhall premises I decided to go back for a tour of the property with my eldest son.
