Common Employment Disputes in Workplaces

Employment disputes refer to conflicts or disagreements between employees and employers. These conflicts can stem from violations of employee rights, breaches of contracts, or unfair workplace practices. 

Worst of all, disputes often leave employees feeling powerless when those in authority break rules. Below are some common types of disputes.

  • Wage and hour disputes – Unpaid wages, overtime violations, or misclassification as an independent contractor.
  • Discrimination and harassment – Sexual harassment, racial slurs, or bullying based on protected characteristics, such as age, disability, gender, etc. 
  • Wrongful termination – Being fired for unlawful reasons, such as retaliation or discrimination.
  • Retaliation – Punishment for reporting workplace violations, participating in investigations, or exercising legal rights.
  • Contract disputes – Breaches of employment contracts, including severance agreements and non-compete clauses.
  • Whistleblower claims – Adverse actions taken against employees who report unlawful conduct within a company.

What Can Workers Do in Employment Disputes?

If you are involved in an employment dispute, taking the proper steps can significantly affect the outcome of your case.

  • Document everything – Keep records of emails, performance reviews, pay stubs, and any communication related to the dispute.
  • Report the issue internally – If possible, follow company procedures to address workplace concerns before taking legal action.
  • File a complaint with government agencies – The State of California Civil Rights Department or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) handles discrimination and retaliation claims.
  • Consult an employment lawyer – One of our attorneys can assess your case, advise on legal options, and help you pursue a claim.

You may be eligible for compensation for unpaid earnings due to wrongful termination, wage violations, discrimination, or other violations. You may also pursue compensation for stress, anxiety, and suffering caused by the dispute. 

In some claims, employees may be reinstated to their former positions. In cases of extreme employer misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded. You may also be able to recover legal costs and attorney fees. 

Your rights as an employee deserve to be protected. At The Work Justice Firm, we are a trusted legal resource for workers in greater Los Angeles, Southern California, and statewide.
