San Joaquin Employment Lawyer
When you face issues at work, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. You deserve a safe and fair workplace, but sometimes employers don't play by the rules. That's where we come in. At The Nourmand Law Firm, APC, we specialize in employment law and are dedicated to fighting for the rights of employees in San Joaquin.
Understanding Your RightsSan Joaquin County is a diverse area of central California with a dynamic and varied workforce. The primary industries in the region include healthcare, education, transportation, and agriculture, while the largest employers in San Joaquin County include the San Joaquin County Government, Lodi Unified School District, and St. Joseph's Medical Center. Other significant employers are the University of the Pacific, Amazon, and the Port of Stockton.
According to the most recent data, San Joaquin County has an unemployment rate of approximately 7.5%, which is higher than the national average. Typically, when the unemployment rate is higher, employers tend to take more liberties when it comes to their employees because they know that they will not have a difficult time finding another employee.
However, California has some of the strongest employment laws in the country, designed to protect you from unfair treatment. These laws cover a wide range of issues, including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, wage and hour disputes, and retaliation. If you believe your rights have been violated, you need a knowledgeable and experienced attorney on your side.
Types of San Joaquin Employment Cases We HandleAt the Nourmand Law Firm, APC, we handle all types of employment lawsuits brought by employees against their employers, including but not limited to:
Wrongful Termination
Being fired without a valid reason is not only unfair, it's illegal. If you've been let go for reasons that violate your employment contract or state laws, we can help you seek justice and compensation.
Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics is against the law. Our team is skilled in handling discrimination cases and will work tirelessly to hold your employer accountable.
Sexual Harassment
No one should have to endure sexual harassment at work. Whether it's unwanted advances, inappropriate comments, or a hostile work environment, we're here to support you and ensure your workplace is safe.
Wage and Hour Disputes
You work hard and deserve to be paid fairly. If your employer is withholding overtime pay, forcing you to work off the clock, or not paying the minimum wage, we will fight to get you the compensation you are owed.
Retaliation
If you've been punished for reporting illegal activities or asserting your rights, you may be a victim of retaliation. Retaliation is illegal, and our attorneys are ready to defend you and seek remedies for the unfair treatment you experienced.
