Understanding Breach of Contract in Employment Law
Contracts make up the backbone of our economy, and when we cannot count on all parties holding up their ends of the bargain, things tend to fall apart. There are many ways that your employer may breach your employment contract, including wage theft, discrimination, job duty changes, or wrongful termination. Regardless of your specific issue, you can count on us at Ratner Molineaux, LLP, to thoroughly examine your case and provide real solutions to get you the justice you’re entitled to. You should not be left to shoulder the mental or financial burdens of your employer’s dishonesty or negligence. Our firm knows the ins and outs of labor and employment laws in California, and we can help you get to the bottom of this.
Common Remedies for a Breach of Employment Contract
These remedies may include:
- Monetary damages: You may be qualified for compensation for the wages, bonuses, or benefits that were denied to you as a result of the breach.
- Restitution: In some cases, courts may order restitution to restore your position before the breach occurs.
- Specific performance: A court may require the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations, especially if monetary damages would not adequately compensate you.
- Punitive damages: If your employer's conduct was especially egregious, you might be able to seek punitive damages, which are intended to punish wrongful behavior and deter future violations.
How Our Breach of Employment Lawyer Can Help You
Here’s how we can assist you:
- Contract review and analysis: We will carefully examine the terms of your contract to determine whether a breach has occurred. We will identify which provisions were violated and advise you on the strength of your case.

- Litigation: If negotiation efforts fail, our team is prepared to aggressively represent you in court. We will build a strong case, present evidence of the breach, and advocate for your rights every step of the way.

“Highly Recommend”
Highly recommend. Laid off without notice by a shady Pre IPO lender in San Francisco. No one was given severance and they hired a labor attorney ahead of the layoffs to try and get around paying severance and warn notice. Without this firm taking my case, I would have never received a dime. Do not let a lay off without any severance deter you, contact this firm. Odd thing was 1 letter from this firm and severance was immediately offered. It's a game these high-tech companies are playing and gambling on. Their bet is 98% will not do anything severance and for the small percent that do, the amount to pay versus provided all in the layoff, is pennies on the dollar. Get your documentation, all emails, take photos of slack messages, record any zoom calls where there is a statement " no one is getting laid off" and so forth. Records any zoom calls where you are laid off. Take notes. Protect yourself and family. Working all the holidays and 12-hour days to be let go with nothing, is ridiculous. Use this firm and provide all your documentation. Good Luck!- J.C. -
“Extremely Satisfied”
I was referred to Ratner Molineaux after my daughter and I suffered injury and property damage resulting from a defective product in our home. During my very first conversation with David Ratner, I found him to be straightforward, professional, and extremely responsive to my concerns. Thereafter, David took the time to walk us through each and every stage of the litigation process and was an excellent advocate for my daughter and I. He remained fiercely protective of our interests and represented us well during mediation, preparation for trial, and settlement talks. David's style is very direct and to the point, which might be off putting for some, but worked well for me since I tend to be laser focused when dealing with business matters. Near the conclusion of my case, I had the opportunity to meet his partner Shelley, who had also diligently and effectively assisted with our litigation. In the end, our result was more than adequate, and both my daughter and I walked away extremely satisfied with both the representation we'd received, and the outcome of our claim. I definitely recommend this firm.- D.M. -
