EMPLOYEE RIGHTS LAWS

Common sources of California employee rights laws include the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), and the California Labor Code. FEHA can be found beginning in California Government Code Section 12920

FEHA prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation at work.

The California Labor Code:

Sets forth many rules about when employees must be paid their wages, what wages they must be paid, and what penalties exist for the improper payment of wages
Provides the rights for nonexempt employees to meal and rest breaks
Contains provisions prohibiting employment fraud when an employee moves anywhere to take a job in California
Includes serious anti-retaliation provisions for whistle blowers; found in California Labor Code Section 1102.5c.
Workers compensation rights are found in the California Labor Code
The rights to healthy and safe work environment are found in the California Labor Code

Besides FEHA and the California Labor Code there are other statutory sources of employee rights. These include provisions prohibiting retaliation and termination of whistleblowing healthcare workers in the Health and Safety code, and laws allowing employees to be free from retaliation if complaining about false claims their employers are making to the government. And there are so many more.
