FREE EMAIL CASE EVALUATION: COMPLETE OUR ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR A PERSONAL REVIEW BY EMPLOYEE RIGHTS ATTORNEY FRANK PRAY.COMMITMENT, COURAGE, COMPASSION AND CONCENTRATION . OUR VISION IS TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM RECOVERY FOR WRONGFUL TERMINATION ACTIONS.FOCUS OF MY EMPLOYMENT LAW PRACTICE IS:
"DO I HAVE A CASE?"A "case" is tested by whether the elements of proof are likely
present to persuade a court that the employer's conduct permits you
to recover damages. 1) that you complain about or resist some conduct by the Company, or that the employer anticipates that you will complain; 2) that your complaint is communicated informally or formally, internally or externally to the company, verbally or in writing, to someone in charge; 3) that your complaint goes beyond some trivial issue to a matter of "well established and important public policy", such as discrimination, harassment, or a crime, 4) that the employer takes action against you because of your complaint or resistance; and 4) that you suffer significant career injury as a result.
1) that you are in a "protected category", such as over 40, or disabled, or on medical leave, or of a certain race, national origin or ethnicity, or any other group identified for protection by statute; 2) that you were qualified for the job and doing your job satisfactorily; 3) that you were replaced in your position (or somehow that someone was "preferred" or given greater opportunity) who was outside the "protected category"; 4) that that preferred person was no more qualified and no better performer than you; 5) that the official reason given by the employer for its adverse action is so patently false and unsupportable by reason or fact as to be considered a lie; and 6) that you have been significantly damaged by the adverse action. Note that this burden of proof does not require that you have proof of a statement by the employer of its intent to discriminate.
Time Limits: Be aware that the law sets limits on how long you
have to file your claims. Failure to file may result in loss of the
right to maintain your claim in an Agency or Court. Federal
discrimination claims before the EEOC must be filed within 180 days
of the discriminatory act. Discrimination claims based on
California law must be filed within 1 year of the discriminatory
act. Retaliation (whistleblower) claims not connected to
discrimination must be filed within 2 years of the retaliatory
action. Defamation cases must be filed within 1 year. Other claims
have other time limits.

The California legislature has come to the protection of persons too dense, too indifferent, too rich, too independent or too eccentric to give a damn what they post on social media. Of course, it also has provided protection for even the cautious citizen who has no personality to hide. No one, not even someone whose greatest contribution to public debate is how to cook vegetables, should be required to give up his username and password to a meddling employer. In the early days of social media, I think there was an illusion that a person could be "real" in that environment. The illusion is over. If you want to be real, transparent, and open, well, it turns out the old fashioned friends who actually meet over dinner or shared activities may be the answer after all. Did we once hope that social media would provide that open intellectual space where viewpoints had room to breathe?
