Rights As An Employee Under The Los Angeles City
Employment Law
2

• If you are an employee in California, you should
  be aware of your legal rights. According to the
  law, every employee in California has the same
  legal rights.
• These rights usually involve
• The right to earn wages
• Working hours
• Protection against discrimination
• The right to work in a healthy and safe working
  environment
• The right to be treated fairly and equally

3
Most employees are not aware of their legal
rights. They believe that they are here to work
and get paid, and most of them do not even
inquire about their rights until they find
themselves in a problem. Most problems occur
due to

• Discrimination
• Retaliation
• Abuse
• Wage-cut
• Refusing to pay for the employees services

4
Once problems occur, the only way around them is
with legal help. Do not think about how expensive
it is to hire an attorney instead, think about
how much you will obtain by hiring an attorney.
Yes, you will actually make money and be able to
pay the attorney and have extra for yourself.
This is done with a successful claim against your
employer

The Basic Rights
Every employee has the right to work no more than
8 hours a day, or 40 hours a week. Every hour
past the 40th is paid as overtime work at a rate
of 150 percent of the original hourly wage. At
the same time, all employees are entitled to a
30-minute uninterrupted meal break for every 30
hours of work performed for the employer.
6
Many employers ask their employees to clock out
for a meal break, and this is usually against the
law. If your employer is asking you to do the
same, consult with the Los Angeles Employment
Attorneys and see whether or not your rights are
being violated.
Also, if working for the same employer for more
than 30 days, you have the right to a paid sick
leave. However, the amount of time that you can
receive is usually predetermined. Basically,
expect to have no more than 48 hours (6 workdays)
of paid leave.
Remember that these are general rights, and are
subject to change. However, every employee should
know their legal rights and act if an employer
tries to abuse their power.
7
If your employer does not provide you with a 48
hour paid sick leave, you have the right to file
a claim. Consult with the Los Angeles employment
law attorney at The Kaufman Law Firm Is standing

knowledgeable team work to investigate what
