California law is constantly evolving. We have the resources, knowledge, and experience to deal with this ever-changing legal environment.
A key aspect in the resolution of an employment dispute includes an understanding of the variety of forums and remedies available. Experienced counsel should be consulted.
Types of forums include:
1. Civil court, including state court (the county courthouse) or federal court (U.S. District Court usually located in a large nearby city).
2. Administrative agencies, including the Labor Commissioner, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the U.S. E.E.O.C., the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, the State Personnel Board, and many others.
3. Private Arbitration, for parties who agree to this process and may be either binding or non-binding.
4. Private Mediation, for parties who agree to this process.
Each process has its own procedures and protocols, advantages and disadvantages. Often, these processes may be combined or pursued simultaneously. For example, the parties may agree to a private mediation in the context of a civil action filed in civil court.
The Law Office of Joseph E. Hohenwarter has extensive experience with Employment Law and the various forums where disputes are handled. We practice law exclusively in the State of California and limit our representation to matters in the following counties: Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo.
Examples of remedies available to plaintiffs in employment law cases upon sufficient proof include: 1) backpay - the amount of money plaintiff would have earned absent the discrimination from the time of the adverse action until date of trial; 2) frontpay - to compensate an employee for future damages; 3) emotional distress damages for the emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other nonpecuniary losses (must be severe, substantial, or enduring as distinguished from trivial or transitory).
