In 1993 the Employment Lawyers Group was founded in Sherman Oaks, California. Although we always served Ventura County from our Sherman Oaks office, in 2009 we established a permanent office in the Seabridge Marina area of Oxnard. In 2013 we purchased a waterfront building in the Mandalay Bay neighborhood of Oxnard. Since 2013 we have transformed this location into a first-rate conference facility and law firm retreat. After upgrading the existing foundation and adding onto it we saved an exterior wall before constructing a state of the art, modern facility finished in 2016. Our new Oxnard office has south facing marina access, and is a special place for client meetings and depositions.

Employment terminations based upon whistle blowing, or discrimination may be wrongful termination. Wages Due - employee attorneys can review pay agreements to make sure employees have been paid all wages due. These situations often arise if there is a written agreement for bonuses, commissions, or a set salary. In order to properly evaluate a situation of unpaid wages it greatly assists our labor lawyers if we are able to see paystubs and any written agreements governing pay. These types of documents tell us a lot about a wage situation. Job Harassment - Not all conduct an employee considers to be harassment is something an employee can recover money for by way of a legal proceeding. Harassment based upon a protected characteristic such as age, cancer, disability, genetic condition, the exercise of a right such as Family Medical Leave, medical conditions, national origin, pregnancy, race, or serious medical condition may be something an employee can sue for. [Sexual harassment](https://venturaemploymentlawyer.com/sexual-harassment/) is also a form of job harassment our employee lawyers can sue for. A job scenario involving sexual harassment does not necessarily have to include a job termination in order to sue. Sexual harassment must be severe or pervasive. Job stress may be compensable in the workers compensation system if it is triggered by a sudden and extraordinary event at work. There are many fine lines and distinctions about what constitutes harassment at work an employee can sue for. Call (805) 200-0100 to reach our employment law office.
