Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Terminated
Hello, I began working for my most recent employer on April 23rd, 2007 and was terminated today abruptly and unexpectedly May 24th, 2007.
Here's the two problems I had with this employer.
During my first meeting with my boss (president/CFO) he stated that he didnt care what I did with the Call Center (I was Director) but wanted my primary focus to be on the marketing of the company's live video kiosks. He stated that ''sex sells'' and that he wanted me to hire only attractive looking women with large breasts. Fearing I'd lose my job I did my best within my personal ethics to hire qualified people rather than attractive. He also stated that he wanted me to make sure that my female reps all wore revealing tops that showed as much cleavage as possible. I never ''enforced'' this or even hinted at it with my reps. Could this be considered harassment of some sort since it was offensive to me and many other employees (who fear speaking out)?
The second problem I'm having is they have shorted me twice on my paychecks including my last check. The math was poorly done more than once and I wasnt given an oppertunity to question the amount of my check. Is this something I can have an attorney purse or at least look into?

Re: Terminated
If your termination was as a result of your refusal to comply with the employer's directions, you may have a claim. If the employer was unaware of your opposition to the policy and never counseled you for not following instructions a claim would be doubtful. It would be wise to review the facts of your specific case with an experienced employment lawyer.
