Haig B. Kazandjian Lawyers APC Launches Employee Rights Education Initiative in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, California Aug 24, 2026 (Issuewire.com) Haig B. Kazandjian Lawyers APC has announced a new employee rights education initiative for workers across Los Angeles County. The program will offer free public resources, online materials, and community-focused sessions on workplace violations that often affect employees before they know a legal claim may exist.

The initiative expands on workplace topics handled by the firms Glendale employment attorneys, including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, wage theft, unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, retaliation, harassment, employee misclassification, and leave-related disputes. The firm created the series to give local workers clear information about California employment rights, employer misconduct, and records that may help support a claim. 

Too many employees wait until after a firing, demotion, or unpaid wage dispute to ask whether their rights were violated, said Haig B. Kazandjian of Haig B. Kazandjian Lawyers APC. This initiative gives people practical information earlier, before key documents disappear, memories fade, or pressure from an employer causes them to question what happened.

Built for Workers Across Los Angeles County

The series is intended for employees in Los Angeles, Glendale, Encino, Burbank, North Hollywood, Pasadena, Long Beach, Van Nuys, Santa Clarita, and nearby communities. Each topic will focus on workplace issues employees often face after a dispute begins.

Planned topics include:

• What may count as wrongful termination under California law.
• Signs of workplace discrimination based on age, disability, pregnancy, gender, race, religion, or other protected traits.
• Wage theft issues, including unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, missed breaks, and improper deductions.
• Retaliation after reports of harassment, wage violations, safety concerns, or discrimination.
• Records employees should save after a write-up, firing, pay dispute, or HR complaint.
• How wage and hour class actions may arise when the same violation affects many workers.

The program will use articles, checklists, seminar materials, and online sessions so workers can review the information at their own pace.

Employee-Side Litigation Experience Behind the Program

Haig B. Kazandjian Lawyers APC represents employees in California employment law matters, including wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour violations, harassment, workplace safety complaints, and class action claims. The firm also handles personal injury, tenant rights, and mass tort matters when large-scale harm affects California residents.

The initiative reflects the firms broader commitment to public outreach and employee access. A sudden firing, a changed schedule, a missing paycheck, a denied break, or a hostile workplace pattern may have legal significance. The series will help workers spot facts that may support a legal claim.

First Topics in the Series

HBK Lawyers plans to begin with wage theft and wrongful termination because both can affect a workers income right away. Future sessions will address discrimination, harassment, whistleblower retaliation, employee misclassification, and leave-related retaliation.

Employees will learn what questions to ask after a workplace dispute, including:

• Did the employer give a reason for termination that conflicts with earlier events?
• Were time records, schedules, or pay entries changed?
• Were similar employees treated differently?
• Did discipline begin soon after an HR complaint, wage complaint, medical leave request, or safety report?
• Are other workers dealing with the same break, overtime, or pay issue?

The series will also explain when a private claim, agency complaint, settlement discussion, or class action may enter the legal process.

Local Access for Los Angeles Employees
