San Bernardino Employment Law Attorney

Workers across San Bernardino are facing increasing uncertainty as layoffs continue to affect logistics, warehousing, health care and manufacturing jobs throughout the Inland Empire.

I am Mazen Khatib, an employment law attorney based in Ontario, California, just minutes from San Bernardino. I represent employees throughout San Bernardino and the Inland Empire who are facing unfair treatment in the workplace. My practice focuses on holding employers accountable when they layoff employees in a discriminatory manner, ignore contracts or retaliate against workers who assert their rights.

What Employment Law Issues Affect Workers In San Bernardino?

In San Bernardino, many cases arise from large employers implementing workforce reductions or restructuring based on discriminatory or retaliatory criteria.

I represent employees dealing with the following employment law matters.

• Wrongful termination: Claims involving employees who were fired or let go for unlawful reasons
• Discrimination: Adverse treatment based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age or disability
• Retaliation: Punishment after reporting misconduct, harassment or wage violations
• Breach of contract: Violations of written or implied employment agreements
• Wage and hour issues: Disputes involving unpaid wages, overtime or missed breaks

Each situation depends on the facts, and careful review is essential to determine whether legal action is available.

Was My Layoff Or Termination Wrongful Under California Law?

Not every layoff is illegal, but many are carried out improperly. California law prohibits terminations that are tied to discrimination, retaliation or violations of public policy. Common warning signs of wrongful termination may include:

• Timing issues: The termination followed complaints about discrimination or workplace conditions.
• Unequal treatment: Only certain employees were selected for layoffs.
• Contract violations: The employer ignored severance or termination provisions.
• Shifting explanations: Reasons for termination changed over time.

These issues may support a wrongful termination claim even when an employer claims economic necessity.

Employment disputes move quickly, and strict deadlines apply. Early legal involvement can help preserve evidence, evaluate claims and prevent employers from shaping the narrative. My proximity to San Bernardino allows me to represent local employees while remaining accessible from Ontario.
