One of the benefits of employment in California is the accrual of sick leave. Because of this benefit, employees can take time off work without penalty when they are feeling sick.
Many employers allow, or even encourage, the use of cell phones as part of an employee’s work, whether it is for making phone calls or looking up information quickly.
No matter what industry you are in, you should know your employment and payment rights under California law. This knowledge could keep you safe from wage theft or other predatory employer actions.
If you have experienced any type of sexual harassment in your workplace, your employer is legally obligated to investigate the situation and resolve the matter as effectively as possible.
