As the saying goes, knowledge is power.
That's especially true when it comes to your legal rights in the workplace. The attorneys at Adams Nye have prepared a free booklet specifically written to introduce the essential concepts of California employment law. Written in plain English, this booklet includes explanations of:
- Different kinds of workplace discrimination, with specific, real-world examples
- The meaning of being an "at-will employee"
- Employment contracts and severance agreements
- What kinds of workplace events could—and could not—be the basis for a lawsuit
- The discovery process
- What damages are, and how they're calculated
- The pros and cons of settlement versus taking a case to a jury
