    Common Workplace Violations in Santa Monica

    Tech startups near the Third Street Promenade, hotels and restaurants along the coast, and clinics and studios throughout the city all operate under the same California labor laws — and we help employees enforce them.

    The claims we see most often in the area include:

    • Unpaid overtime, minimum-wage shortfalls, and off-the-clock work
    • Missed or interrupted meal and rest breaks
    • Discrimination based on age, gender, race, disability, or other protected traits
    • Sexual harassment and hostile work environments
    • Retaliation against employees who report illegal conduct or unsafe conditions
    • Wrongful termination that violates public policy or an employment contract
    • Misclassifying employees as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits

    FAQ

    Questions About Santa Monica Cases

    How long do I have to file an employment claim in California?

    It depends on the claim. Many discrimination and harassment claims under the Fair Employment and Housing Act require an administrative filing within three years, while wage and contract claims have their own limits. Because exceptions apply, speak with an attorney promptly.

    What if I already signed a severance agreement?

    You may still have options, depending on what you signed. Employers often offer severance in exchange for a release of claims, sometimes for far less than a claim is worth. Have an employment attorney review the agreement before you rely on it.

    What damages can I recover?

    Depending on your case, recovery can include back pay, front pay, statutory penalties for missed breaks or unpaid overtime, compensation for emotional distress, and in some cases punitive damages. Many statutes also let you recover attorney's fees.

    Should I talk to HR or my employer's attorneys first?

    Document your concerns in writing, but avoid giving detailed statements to your employer or their attorneys before you understand your rights — it can weaken your claim. It is wise to speak with an employment lawyer first.

    How much does a consultation cost?

    Your initial consultation is free and confidential. We review what happened, explain your options, and outline the process — with no obligation and no upfront fees.

    What should I bring to my consultation?

    Bring whatever you have: pay stubs and wage statements, your offer letter or handbook, relevant emails or texts, performance reviews, and the names of any witnesses. If you don't have everything, bring what you can.
