Employment Law - Answers Provided Here

WELCOME to employlaw.com, the best website on the Net helping employees and employers deal with workplace frictions and controversies [my fancy way of saying "problems"].

Our award winning Site discussing employment law was the first California website on the Internet back in 1995-1996 [that seems over 100 "Net years" to me.] Since 1995 employlaw.com's mission has been to provide employers and employees with helpful information on selected workplace problems.

In a hurry?

Anyway... employlaw.com provides you information that matters. No highfalutin lawyer talk on employlaw.com, just plain speaking to keep readers' eyes glued to the screen and transmit the information you need to gain a preliminary understanding of your situation.

Keep in mind that employlaw.com cannot be an all-encompassing, detailed research site discussing every issue related to employment law. If it were, readers would collapse from information overload or log off in frustration boredom.

Besides, if this was a one-stop problem solving site we would need to impose access charges to recoup the thousands of hours expended on content production and maintenance costs. [Note that on this Site we do not have a now-ubiquitous "donate" button you may have seen on websites.].

With all this in mind employlaw.com is designed to provide information on selected issues that arise in the workplace. ["Selected issues" means I talk about subjects with which I have experience.]

The Site's goal is to present in "civilian terms" broad employment law concepts, discussion of common workplace disputes and to see how the law might deal with them.

Subjects Discussed: Inside you will find information on:

A. Wrongful termination;

B. Breach of contract;

C. Business torts;

D. Trade secret theft;

E. Wrongful demotion;

F. Sex, age and race discrimination issues;

G. Wage claims: failure to pay wages, overtime, and waiting-time penalty payments;

H. Labor Code violations related to meals, breaks, uniforms;

I. Noncompete and nonsolicitation agreements, injunctions, TROs [right to work issues];

J. Unemployment claims;

K. Workers' compensation;

L. Union matters;

And much, much more.

Dispute Resolution/Litigation: Since 1996 we have provided information on dispute resolution methods, including Federal District Courts and State Superior Court trials, litigation in general, and appeals through all appellate courts. We discuss alternative dispute resolution [ADR] methods including arbitration, mediation and the federal court's Early Neutral Evaluation program [ENE.]

The Bureaucracy: We also have helped employers and employees understand the multitude of employment related administrative and regulatory agencies, to name a few:

	Department of Labor ["DOL" - Federal labor or "wage" law enforcement]
	Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ["EEOC" - federal discrimination enforcement]
	California Department of Industrial Relations [Regulation of employment conditions]
	Bureau of Labor Standards Enforcement [California's "Labor Commissioner"]
	Department of Fair Employment and Housing ["DFEH" - Discrimination law enforcement]
	Workers' Compensation Appeals Board ["WCAB" - Workplace injuries and disabilities]
	Employment Development Department ["EDD" - Unemployment benefits and claims]
