Workplace Fairness

Workplace discrimination in California often appears in subtle ways—unequal treatment, biased comments, unfair discipline, or retaliation after speaking up. If something feels off at work, attorneys Jose Herrera and Matthew Haulk at Haulk & Herrera LLP can help you understand your rights, identify discrimination, and take action. You don’t have to navigate it alone—learn the key signs to watch for and how to protect yourself.

California is rolling out major worker-protection updates in 2026, including expanded pay transparency, a new “Know Your Rights” notice, faster data-breach notifications, stronger wage-recovery laws, and the end of stay-or-pay agreements.

In California, many workers are denied basic legal protections because they’ve been misclassified — often as “independent contractors” instead of employees. This misclassification can have serious consequences, including loss of overtime pay, benefits, job security, and the right to file for unemployment or workers' compensation.
