Legal Question in Employment Law in California

File a complaint with the California Department Fair housing and Employment and the Federal Equal Opportunity and Employment Commission, and the Department of Labor for unlawful labor practices, for denying you on the raises promised to you..

Yes, you can try to do the things suggested by Mr. Waid, but unfortunately for you, none of what you described is 'illegal' nor does it give rise to grounds for any valid lawsuit. General promises of raises are merely incentives to encourage dedication to the job, but are NOT enforceable unless they are a specific written offer, or a term in a full written employment contract, or in formal company policy manuals, and you have complied with all pre-conditions.

The reality is that the employer is entitled to set and change hours, duties, titles, compensation, benefits, leaves, vacations, holidays, policies, rules, etc. just not retroactively in a way that deprives you of already 'earned' compensation.

Not only are there no laws against poor management, 'unfair treatment', or rude, obnoxious or harassing behavior by management or other employees, but in general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice.

Any employee's goal should be to keep their supervisors happy and make them look good to the company, and make the company money. That�s how the company pays employee wages. If you don't, then don't be surprised to be replaced.
