Protect Your Rights Against Employer Retaliation in California
Protect Your Rights Against Employer Retaliation in California
Undocumented and treated unfairly at work? Immigrant employees can take legal action against their employers.
Rest assured that under California and federal law, your employer cannot retaliate against you for reporting workplace violations or refusing to do something illegal. If your employer has retaliated against you, know that you have legal rights and can seek help. Our office is here to discuss the facts of your case and help you understand your options.
If you are an undocumented worker, it’s understandable to feel hesitant about contacting an attorney for fear of retaliation. However, it’s important to remember that undocumented workers have workplace rights. Your legal status does not affect your case. Our attorneys can help you understand the potential risks of pursuing legal action against your employer and work with you to protect your rights.
If your employer is threatening to report you to ICE or another law enforcement agency, don’t let fear prevent you from taking action. Our office is here to help, and all calls are kept strictly confidential.
Undocumented employees have the right to recover for damages they have suffered. This can include:
Wages: If you have been paid less than the minimum wage during your employment, you are eligible for back pay.
Lost wages: If you were wrongfully terminated and couldn’t find work, you could receive the income you would have earned if not terminated.
Punitive damages: Companies that mistreat immigrant workers by acting with malice, oppression, or fraud. These behaviors can warrant these damages, which can often reach millions of dollars.
As an undocumented worker, you deserve to have your rights protected. Our employment lawyers can help you take legal action against employers who violate those rights. We offer a free consultation and are committed to fighting tirelessly for your rights. Contact us today to learn how we can help you seek work justice!
