California Employment Lawyer

Employment law is all we do

Your job is your most valuable asset

Wrongful termination or wrongful demotion can put your financial security at risk as well as your career. California employment law ensures that all employment disputes put the rights and security of the employee first, ahead of the company’s motivation for profit. Los Angeles employment attorneys can provide you with the knowledge you require to settle any employment law claim, whether that be wage and hour disputes, wrongful termination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, unpaid wages, sexual harassment, wage theft, or any other violation of labor laws.

The Law Offices of Jonathan J. Delshad can help clients navigate California fair employment and employment law for their benefit. If you’re searching for Los Angeles employment lawyers, Mr. Jonathan J. Delshad has counseled many Los Angeles cases in various employment law matters, including cases that have made national headlines.

Federal law under the Fair Labor Standards Act sets a national minimum wage of $7.25 per hour — but California sets a far higher floor. For the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, the statewide minimum wage is $16.90 per hour for all employers regardless of size. The rate adjusts for inflation every January 1, so the current rate is always posted on the California Department of Industrial Relations website. Many cities and counties, including Los Angeles, set even higher local minimum wages, and certain industries — such as fast food and health care — have their own higher minimums. California also prohibits tip credits: bartenders, servers, and other tipped employees must be paid the full minimum wage before tips, and no employer may count tips toward it. If your employer is paying you less than the highest minimum wage that applies to your work, you may have a claim for unpaid wages — plus interest and penalties.

The Law Offices of Jonathan J. Delshad provide workers with the ability to consult with top Los Angeles employment attorneys to determine whether or not employers have violated their rights. You can also file a complaint with a government agency, but employment law cases tend to be settled promptly. Contact our firm today for a free consultation on employment law!
