Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Harassment in California
Q1: What constitutes workplace harassment in California?
A1: In California, workplace harassment includes any unwelcome conduct based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, and other protected characteristics. This can range from verbal comments and jokes to physical assaults or suggestive gestures. The behavior becomes unlawful when enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment or the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.
Q2: What should I do if I am experiencing harassment at work?
A2: If you are experiencing harassment in the workplace, it is recommended to first report the behavior to your employer through the appropriate channels outlined in your company’s anti-harassment policy. If the harassment continues or if your employer fails to take appropriate action, you should contact an experienced workplace harassment attorney to discuss your legal options and potentially file a claim with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Q3: How can Masoom Law Firm P.C. help me with my workplace harassment claim?
A3: Masoom Law Firm P.C. can assist by evaluating the details of your case, gathering necessary evidence, and providing a robust legal strategy to pursue justice. Our attorneys can help file your claim, represent you in all legal proceedings, and negotiate settlements or pursue litigation if necessary to ensure your rights are protected and you receive any compensation to which you may be entitled.
Q4: Can my employer retaliate against me for filing a harassment complaint?
A4: No, it is illegal for employers in California to retaliate against employees for filing a harassment complaint or participating in any investigation related to workplace harassment. This includes any form of punishment such as demotion, termination, pay reduction, or negative job assignments. If you believe you have been retaliated against, it is important to seek legal assistance as you may have additional claims against your employer.
Q5: What are the benefits of conducting regular workplace harassment training?
A5: Conducting regular workplace harassment training helps ensure that all employees are aware of what constitutes unacceptable behavior and the steps to take if they experience or witness harassment. For employers, providing training is not only a legal requirement in California but also helps to prevent harassment, reduce liability, and promote a positive and respectful workplace culture.

As an Entrepreneur, one of the largest challenges is the forever changing, confusing and employee friendly California Employment Laws. Elnaz is extremely knowledgeable, professional, up to date with law changes and can educate you in the way that you will understand the California Employment Laws and how they affect you as an Employer. If Elnaz had not educated me on the differences between firing and laying someone off, it could have cost my Company a lot of money and potential penalties with the EDD. Most recently, I had an urgent Employee issue. I was able to contact Elnaz immediately and she helped me produce a legally sound termination letter in about an hour as I had to fire someone for the first time in my career.

In one of the most challenging times in my career, I was fortunate to work with Elnaz, she was so knowledgeable and well versed in the law. I was so grateful to her for patiently and diligently walking me through every detail of my situation so that I could have the best outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has a tragic employment issue.

Being a former Police Sergeant, I've been around attorneys for years. After a while you get a feel for how they operate and you either respect them or you put them in a different category. I've known Elnaz for about a year now. She is definitely passionate and knowledgeable about her work. I've even heard other attorneys that I respect, comment about Elnaz's work and send her referrals. She has counseled me on a few occasions and I have also sent her some clients. I trust her judgement. and that she is looking out for her clients.

If you have tried to read the EDD laws online, you are probably confused. As a small business that does not have the need or resources for an HR professional, I tried doing it myself. This could have landed me in big trouble as California is an Employee friendly state. Trust me, you don't want to learn the hard way. Elnaz first helped me with an employee classification issue when I wasn't sure how to pay an Employee. If you don't know the difference between Exempt and Non-Exempt, you should probably talk to her. I had such a great experience as she responded promptly and efficiently (which is important when you are being billed by the hour). Since then, Elnaz has helped me put together an Employee Handbook, Independent Subcontractor Contract, New Hire letter and a Reduction in Hour Letter. All was done satisfactory and in a timely manner.
