Legal Question in Discrimination Law in California
Wrongful employee suspension
I was suspended a number of weeks ago by my employer who is contracted to provide services to a major employer in town for an incident that was satisfactorily resolved 2 months ago.The reason given verbally was that a management review had to be performed,wasnt done timely because of supervisor s vacation.Supervisor was not gone for 2 months.Since working with the company i have progressed to positions that have taken many years to achieve due to my superior performance.I am older than most employees and have had prior incidents that have all been settled in my favor after going to higher management.There is been no contact of any kind since initial suspension and has created tremendous anxiety and financial impacts to my family. And i. My plan is to contact the employer for which services are being contracted to for details and or their personnel involvement in actions that led to my suspension.Since my initial employment a couple of years ago there has been an underlying current for assignments,supervision etc.Which i believe are attributable to my proactivity and age.Is there a violation of my rights,what should be my next action? Contact employer and client to get relevant information?Can this case be done on contingency ?

You must file with the DFEH and or the EEOC to get a right to sue letter. Contact me directly.
Re: Wrongful employee suspension
If you think you have any admissible evidence of age discrimination through witnesses or documents, then you can bring a claim or lawsuit for it. Your 'feeling' is not evidence, but there may be circumstantial evidence in your history with the company. Do not 'interfere' with the company's business relationships, or you'll get sued. If serious about pursuing this, feel free to contact me about the facts and retainer relationship.
