Orange County employment attorneys and law firms handle an extensive
range of employer-employee relations that controls how employers
must treat employees and consists of thousands of federal
and state laws, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions.
Minimum wage regulations, insurance, child labor, workspace
safety, and sexual harassment are only a few of the many areas
of law comprised within Orange County employment law.
The following are explanations of select subjects included
in Orange County employment law:
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
(covered in California Employment Law)
Occurs in two different scenarios: the first is where an employer
subjects an employee in his/her work environment to unwelcome
verbal or physical sexual behavior, or other abusive behavior
directed disproportionately against women, that is either
severe or pervasive. This is known as Hostile-work environment
sexual harassment.
The other scenario occurs when an employee is required to
submit to unwelcome sexual conduct as a condition of his or
her job, or in order to gain some job benefit. This is known
as Quid pro quo sexual harassment.
WORKPLACE SAFETY
(covered in California Employment Law)
The main statute protecting the health and safety of workers
in the workplace is the Occupational and Safety Health Act
(OSHA). Congress enacted this legislation under its Constitutional
grant of authority to regulate interstate commerce. OSHA requires
the Secretary of Labor to promulgate regulations and safety
and health standards to protect employees and their families.
Every private employer who engages in interstate commerce
is subject to the regulations promulgated under OSHA.
Under OSHA states are not allowed, without permission of
the Secretary of Labor, to promulgate any laws that regulate
an area directly covered by OSHA regulations. They may, however,
regulate in areas not governed by federal OSHA regulations.
If they wish to regulate areas covered by OSHA regulations
they must submit a plan for federal approval. The amount of
state regulation varies greatly. California is an example
of a state that has chosen to adopt many of its own regulations
in place of those promulgated under OSHA.
