California Workplace Issues
This is a directory of California workplace issues.
CaliforniaWebDirectory.org exists to help employees understand their workplace rights under California law. This site is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation. Instead, it serves as a free educational directory of common employment-law issues workers face every day — from misclassification and wage theft to retaliation, harassment, and unlawful terminations.
Millions of Californians experience workplace problems each year, but many don’t realize they may have protections under state and federal law. This directory is designed to make that information accessible and easy to understand. When workers have questions about whether their rights were violated, many choose to speak with a qualified California employment attorney. For those who want to take that next step, we proudly recommend LFECR (Lawyers for Employee and Consumer Rights), a trusted resource for employees seeking help.

Understanding California Worker Protections
Understanding California Worker Protections
California has some of the strongest worker protections in the nation. State laws regulate how employees must be classified, ensure equal pay and proper overtime, and protect workers from discrimination and retaliation. These laws apply to nearly all employers, regardless of size, and are enforced by agencies such as the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and the Labor Commissioner’s Office.
Despite these protections, abuses remain common. Employers may misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid benefits, fail to pay proper overtime, or retaliate against employees who speak up. This directory explains each major category of violation, what workers should know, and when it may make sense to seek professional help.

Core Employment Issue Categories
Overtime Violations
California law generally requires non exempt workers to earn 1.5x their regular pay after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week and double time after 12 hours a day. Employers sometimes miscalculate rates, change time records, or classify workers as exempt to avoid overtime obligations.Learn the signs: If you follow company schedules, work full-time, or report to a supervisor, but are told you’re a contractor — your classification may be wrong.
Wage Theft
“Wage theft” covers unpaid hours, withheld wages, illegal paycheck deductions, or failure to pay minimum wage. It’s one of the most reported workplace violations in California. Employees are entitled to receive full wages for all time worked — and must receive their final paycheck promptly when leaving a job.
Retaliation
Workers have a right to report illegal practices or request accommodations without fear of punishment. If an employer demotes, disciplines, or fires someone after a complaint, that may be retaliation. California laws prohibit such actions for engaging in protected activities like reporting harassment, wage theft, or discrimination.
Discrimination
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) bans discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and many other characteristics. Discrimination can show up in hiring, pay, assignments, promotions, or firing decisions.
Discrimination

Harassment
Every worker deserves a safe environment free from harassment — whether sexual, racial, or otherwise. California’s laws require employers to prevent and correct harassing conduct. Both coworkers and supervisors can be held responsible for unlawful harassment.
Misclassification
When an employer labels an employee as an independent contractor to avoid taxes, overtime, or benefits, that’s called misclassification. In California, strict rules under the AB5 law define who qualifies as an independent contractor. Misclassification can affect wages, benefits, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation.
Learn the signs: If you follow company schedules, work full-time, or report to a supervisor, but are told you’re a contractor — your classification may be wrong.
