What Is Employment Law?
Employment law encompasses the legal rules, regulations, and statutes that govern the relationship between employers and employees in California. These laws protect workers from unfair treatment, unsafe conditions, and illegal practices in the workplace — covering everything from hiring and compensation to termination and post-employment agreements.
California has some of the strongest employee protections in the nation, including the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the California Labor Code, the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and numerous wage-and-hour regulations enforced by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE). Federal laws like Title VII, the ADA, and the FMLA provide additional safeguards.
Employment law disputes can arise in many forms — wrongful termination, discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability, sexual harassment, wage theft, retaliation for whistleblowing, and violations of leave laws. These cases often involve complex factual and legal issues requiring experienced legal representation.
At Novian & Novian, our employment law attorneys have decades of experience representing employees throughout Los Angeles and California. We understand the power imbalance between employers and employees, and we fight aggressively to level the playing field and secure justice for workers whose rights have been violated.

FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most common questions:
What Are the Most Common Employment Law Violations in California?
The most common violations include wrongful termination, workplace discrimination (based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion), sexual harassment, wage theft (unpaid overtime, meal/rest break violations), retaliation against whistleblowers, and failure to provide legally mandated leave. California law provides strong protections against all of these.
How Long Do I Have to File an Employment Law Claim in California?
Deadlines vary by claim type. FEHA discrimination and harassment claims require filing with the Civil Rights Department (CRD) within three years of the violation. Wage claims have varying deadlines under the Labor Code (typically three to four years). Wrongful termination claims generally must be filed within two years. Contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Can I Be Fired for Filing a Complaint Against My Employer?
No. California law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who file complaints, participate in investigations, or exercise their legal rights. If you are fired, demoted, or subjected to adverse action after filing a complaint, you may have a retaliation claim.
Do I Need a Lawyer for an Employment Law Dispute?
While you can file complaints on your own with agencies like the CRD or DLSE, employers typically have experienced legal teams. An employment law attorney ensures your rights are fully protected, your case is properly documented, and you receive maximum compensation.
What Compensation Can I Recover in an Employment Law Case?
Depending on the type of claim, you may recover back pay, front pay, lost benefits, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and in some cases reinstatement to your position. California law provides robust remedies for employment law violations.
How Much Does an Employment Law Attorney Cost?
At Novian & Novian, we offer free initial consultations and handle many employment cases on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we win. Some employment statutes also allow for recovery of attorney fees from the employer.
