The tech industry moves fast — and so do the challenges employees face when it comes to their rights in the workplace. From sudden layoffs and severance negotiations to non-compete clauses and workplace discrimination, California tech workers, especially in San Francisco, are navigating complex legal territory.
At Haulk & Herrera LLP, we’ve seen a growing need for specialized legal support tailored to the fast-paced world of tech. Our firm is now working with more clients in the tech sector who need clear, strategic legal guidance to protect their careers and futures.
Common Legal Issues Faced by Tech Employees in SF:
Wrongful Termination: Whether it's due to retaliation, discrimination, or whistleblower actions, being fired unjustly in California is a serious matter.
Severance Agreement Review: Before you sign anything, it’s critical to have a lawyer review your severance offer — especially if it contains non-disparagement, confidentiality, or release of claims clauses.
Discrimination & Harassment: Despite progressive company cultures, bias based on race, gender, disability, or age still exists — and needs to be addressed.
Wage & Overtime Violations: Exempt vs. non-exempt status is often misclassified in tech startups. You may be owed unpaid wages or overtime.
Retaliation for Reporting Issues: Whether it's reporting unethical behavior, labor violations, or harassment, you’re protected by law from retaliation.
Why Tech Workers Need Employment Law Representation
Tech employees often sign complex contracts and NDAs, and they may not realize their full rights under California employment law. Companies — even innovative ones — may overlook legal protections, especially when downsizing or restructuring.
Having an experienced employment lawyer who understands both California law and the tech industry can help protect your rights, negotiate on your behalf, and guide you through sensitive decisions.
