The attorneys at Rukin Hyland Doria & Tindall LLP represent employees in a wide variety of employment-related claims, including:
Wage and Hour Claims
We have a great deal of experience litigating cases involving wage and hour laws, including the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the California Labor Code. We have recovered millions of dollars in overtime pay and other unpaid wages and penalties for California workers.
Discrimination and Harassment
We represent employees who have endured discrimination or harassment in the workplace because of their race or national origin, age, gender, pregnancy, familial status, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other protected status. We also represent employees who experience unlawful harassment on the job.
Whistleblower Protection
California law prohibits employers from taking an adverse employment action against an employee because that employee reports or complains about unlawful conduct that implicates a public concern. We represent people who have faced retaliation after reporting that their employers were engaging in unlawful practices or refusing to participate in conduct that they believe to be unlawful.
Privacy Rights
California has some of the strongest privacy protections in the nation. We work to protect employee privacy rights on the job.
Family and Medical Leave
We represent employees in connection with leave claims under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), the California Pregnancy Disability Leave law and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), among other laws.
Class Action Lawsuits
Our lawyers are experienced class action attorneys who represent employees and consumers in a wide variety of matters, including claims involving violations of California's wage and hour laws, employment discrimination, and other unlawful business practices.
Employment Contracts and Severance Packages
We counsel executives and other professional employees regarding their employment contracts and severance agreements. From behind-the-scenes advice about salary, compensation and other employment terms to direct negotiation of non-disclosure, non-compete and severance agreements, we approach each negotiation with discretion and intelligence.
