Fresno County Employment Law
Fresno is the economic hub of the Central Valley, with major employers in agriculture, food processing, healthcare, logistics, and education. The EEOC Fresno Local Office and California DLSE Fresno field office handle employment claims from Central Valley workers. The Fresno County Superior Court at the B.F. Sisk Courthouse hears employment law cases including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and wage disputes involving agricultural and industrial workers.
Employment Law Cases We Handle in Fresno
Our Fresno employment attorneys handle: wrongful termination, workplace discrimination (race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation), sexual harassment, hostile work environment, whistleblower retaliation, wage and hour violations (unpaid wages, overtime, meal/rest breaks), employee misclassification, FMLA/CFRA violations, and employment contract disputes. We particularly focus on protecting agricultural and food processing workers in the Central Valley.
California Employment Laws That Protect Fresno Workers
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides stronger protections than federal law. California Labor Code sections 1102.5, 98.6, and 6310 protect whistleblowers. The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provides job-protected leave. Agricultural workers have additional protections under the California Labor Code, including overtime pay requirements and heat illness prevention standards.
