When it comes to San Diego employment law, lawyer London Meservy has seen how the subject affects a variety of professionals as well as hourly wage earners. Especially in an economy like the one we’ve been experiencing for the last few years, the importance of work is front and center—getting a job, keeping a job, and making sure that you’re being treated fairly on the job.

Employers have the advantage when so few companies are hiring. The reality is they hold power in this crucial area of people’s lives. That’s not to say that all employers abuse the power of economic advantage over employees. Thankfully most people aren’t experiencing things like contractual disputes, wrongful terminations, sexual harassment, discrimination, or worker’s compensation claims.

Many employers are responsible and accountable to their employees. Unfortunately, some aren’t and use their power to intimidate, harass or otherwise disempower workers illegally. Some employers do this to cover up a case of whistleblowing to remove someone who spoke up about abuse or unfairness.

In some cases, employers misclassify employees to avoid paying them overtime. Some employers misclassify employees as non-payroll contractors to avoid paying benefits and taxes. And even though layoffs are common necessities for employers in times of economic distress, those layoffs sometimes include illegal biases and discrimination that play a role in terminating some groups of employees before others.

You have a right to be treated fairly and paid for your work. If you believe you have been the victim of unfair employment practices, discrimination, or harassment, there are legal remedies available to you.
