Navigating the workplace can be challenging, whether you’re an employee dealing with unfair treatment or an employer managing a team. At Skaja, Daniels & Luu, LLP, we bring a balanced perspective to employment law, representing both employees and employers in litigation while also offering compliance services to help businesses avoid costly disputes.

For Employes

Our attorneys represent employees in a variety of workplace disputes, including:

• Wrongful Termination: Pursuing claims where an employee is fired for unlawful reasons, such as discrimination or retaliation.
• Workplace Discrimination and Harassment: Litigating cases involving discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics, as well as sexual harassment claims.
• Wage and Hour Violations: Recovering unpaid wages, overtime, and compensation for meal and rest break violations.
• Retaliation Claims: Protecting employees who have been wrongfully disciplined or terminated for reporting violations or participating in whistleblower activities.

We work tirelessly to hold employers accountable, advocating for fair compensation and workplace justice for our clients.

For Employers

Defending small businesses against employment lawsuits is a cornerstone of our practice. We understand the significant financial and reputational impact that employment disputes can have, and we aggressively defend employers in cases involving:

• Discrimination and harassment allegations
• Wage and hour disputes
• Wrongful termination claims
• Breach of employment contracts

In addition to litigation, we assist businesses with employment compliance to help avoid disputes in the first place. This includes drafting employee handbooks, developing workplace policies, and advising on hiring, termination, and disciplinary procedures.

And yes, we’re the ones HR calls when HR screws up! Our attorneys provide the expertise and support businesses need to clean up mistakes, minimize liability, and get back on track.

Proactive Solutions for Employers

Preventing litigation is always better than defending it. That’s why we help employers develop proactive strategies to remain compliant with California’s stringent employment laws. Our services include:

• Drafting clear and compliant employment agreements and contracts
• Creating and reviewing employee handbooks and workplace policies
• Conducting workplace audits to identify and address potential legal vulnerabilities
• Providing guidance on proper classification of employees vs. independent contractor

By addressing these issues before problems arise, we help employers save time, money, and stress.
