Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What employment issues are most common in Long Beach's port and shipping industry?

How long do I have to file an employment lawsuit in California?
California provides three years to file wage and hour claims, one year for PAGA representative actions, and three years for most discrimination claims under FEHA. However, you must file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) before filing a discrimination lawsuit in court.
