Empowering You To Fight For Your California Employment Rights
Last updated on January 6, 2026
The job you rely on to earn a living should not be the source of undue stress or legal challenges. Unfortunately, too many employees in Southern California find themselves on the wrong side of discrimination and harassment in the workplace. If that describes your situation, it is vital for you to understand your rights and learn how to assert them.
Here at Makarem & Associates, we believe that all employees should be treated with dignity and respect. Our dedicated roster of Los Angeles employment law attorneys is ready to hear your concerns in full confidentially and stand up for your rights, with you.
When you collaborate with us, we ensure that your experience of discrimination at work can be tackled through resourceful and aggressive litigation. Whether you have faced discrimination as a result of your pregnancy or suffered harm because of your employer’s failure to accommodate your disability, we will commit to your case with intent using an efficient entrepreneurial approach.
At-Will Employment Does Not Give Employers The Entitlement To Discriminate ‘At Will’
Even if you are an “at-will” employee in California, you still have rights. This means that your employer cannot discriminate and wrongfully end your employment based on your protected class or protected activity. Under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), these include:
- Race
- Age
- Sex
- Religion
- Gender identity
- Marital status
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Physical or mental disability
Any at-will employee who is experiencing discriminatory bias in their hostile work environment has the right to file a complaint without being subject to retaliation. If your employer has fired you because of your actions, you can file a claim for wrongful termination and seek compensation for damages.
