San Diego Employment Attorneys
Facing a Dispute with Your Employer in California?
Often called the birthplace of California, San Diego is a thriving cultural and commercial center. The attorneys at Kennard Law, P.C., established a firm here to serve employees from businesses big and small.
We are committed to helping all employees with any legal concerns, including:
- Wage & hour: Employers who commit wage theft by not paying you overtime, misclassifying your role, or forcing you to work through breaks should be held accountable.
- Discrimination: Workers who have been demoted or fired on the basis of their race, gender, age, religion, disability, or another protected category can pursue legal action against their employer.
- Sexual harassment: When an employer is not taking your sexual harassment claims seriously, or if you are concerned about your career after reporting harassment, we can help.
- Whistleblower: If your employer is committing fraud, you can pursue a whistleblower claim to report the wrongdoing while protecting yourself from retaliation.
- Wrongful termination: Employers cannot fire you because of your race, age, gender, religion, disability, pregnancy, or a protected class. If you've been wrongfully fired, we can help.
- Family medical leave act: There are laws that protect your right to take leave for a medical issue or to care for a loved one. If your employer has denied your leave, it is time to take legal action to protect your rights.
- Worker adjustment and retraining notification act (WARN): If your employer ordered a mass layoff without proper notice under the law, you may be able to pursue compensation for violating your rights.
- Retaliation: You should not have to face adverse action due to reporting your employer's misconduct or wrongdoing. If you've been fired, harassed, demoted, or had your pay cut after speaking out about workplace violations, we are here to help.
- Non-compete agreements: If your employer is making you sign a noncompete, make sure you have an attorney review the specifics in the agreement for potential issues that can put you at a disadvantage.

Our San Diego employment attorneys are here to guide you and help resolve your legal issues as soon as possible.
What Employee Rights Do I Have in California?
If you are employed in California, you are entitled to basic rights in the workplace. Your employer is required to uphold these rights, or otherwise, they may be subject to a lawsuit. At the very least, they will be required to take the necessary action to remedy the situation. In some cases, plaintiffs can recover compensation for any losses they have incurred due to the violations.
Some of your rights as an employee in California include:
- The right to freedom from sexual harassment
- The right to fair wages
- The right to a safe work environment
- The right to be free from discrimination
- The right to protection from workplace retaliation (whistleblower rights)
- The right to be protected from wrongful termination
- The right to privacy and the protection of personal possessions
What Does an Employment Law Attorney Do?
Our experienced employment law attorneys at Kennard Law, P.C. review employment contracts to help our clients understand complicated legal jargon and identify poorly drafted clauses before they sign.
When it comes to filing complaints or joining a class action suit, you should first consult with an experienced lawyer to discuss the details of your situation. Although whistleblowers play a crucial role in exposing workplace violations and corruption, the delicate nature of these cases call for the skills of an experienced and highly knowledgeable attorney.
Whistleblowers are often put in a difficult position when it comes to accessing incriminating evidence without breaching the terms of their employment contracts. Cases involving discrimination and wrongful termination can be difficult to handle, but having a lawyer who is familiar with this area of law in your corner can help assert your rights and ensure you don’t make any costly errors that might affect your case.
