Practice Areas

Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship Law
For businesses and contractors operating in Sacramento, California, understanding and complying with prevailing wage and apprenticeship laws is crucial. These complex regulations dictate the minimum wage rates and benefits that must be paid to workers on public works projects, as well as requirements for apprentice utilization. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties, back wages, and reputational damage. An attorney like Carrie Bushman, who practices in this area, can help employers navigate the intricacies of these laws, ensuring proper classification of workers, accurate wage calculations, and adherence to apprenticeship program standards. Whether you are bidding on a new project or facing an audit, experienced counsel can provide essential guidance to protect your business interests in Sacramento.
Wage and Hour Law
Wage and hour laws are a cornerstone of employment regulation, impacting nearly every employer in Sacramento, California. These laws govern minimum wage, overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, accurate record-keeping, and proper classification of employees versus independent contractors, as well as exempt versus non-exempt status. Violations of wage and hour laws can result in costly class action lawsuits, individual claims, and investigations by state and federal agencies. Carrie Bushman assists employers in understanding their obligations under California and federal wage and hour statutes, developing compliant policies, and defending against claims. Seeking advice from an attorney in Sacramento, California, with a focus on wage and hour matters can help businesses mitigate risks and ensure fair labor practices.
Wrongful Termination
In California, employees are generally considered “at-will,” meaning they can be terminated for any lawful reason. However, there are significant exceptions to this rule, and a termination can be deemed “wrongful” if it violates public policy, an implied contract, or anti-discrimination laws. For employers in Sacramento, California, navigating wrongful termination claims requires a thorough understanding of state and federal employment statutes. These cases can arise from alleged discrimination based on protected characteristics, retaliation for whistleblowing or exercising protected rights, or breach of an employment agreement. An attorney like Carrie Bushman can provide strategic counsel to employers facing such claims, helping to assess the legal risks, develop defense strategies, and represent their interests in litigation or negotiation. Proactive advice on termination procedures can also help prevent such disputes.
