Solano County occupies a strategic position between the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, home to approximately 450,000 residents and a workforce shaped by military installations, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, logistics, and a growing number of Bay Area commuters. The county encompasses dramatically different communities — from Vallejo’s working-class neighborhoods and Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, to the suburban retail corridors of Vacaville and Benicia’s industrial facilities.
This workforce diversity brings with it a wide range of employment law issues. Military base civilian employees navigate complex federal employment regulations. Healthcare workers face discrimination and retaliation. Retail and warehouse workers experience wage theft and unsafe conditions. At Liane Ly Law, we represent Solano County employees in the Eastern District of California, the Northern District of California, and Solano County Superior Court — whatever venue best serves your case.
Fired for an illegal reason? We fight for reinstatement, back pay, and damages when employers violate California termination law.
Discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin violates California and federal law. We hold employers accountable.
Hostile work environment and quid pro quo harassment are illegal. We provide compassionate, aggressive representation for harassment victims.
Did your employer punish you for reporting misconduct or filing a complaint? Retaliation is illegal and we aggressively defend your rights.
Unpaid overtime, missed meal breaks, misclassification — California wage law is strict. We recover what you are owed, plus penalties.
Contract disputes, non-compete issues, severance negotiation, and WARN Act violations — we handle the full range of employment matters.
Solano County’s location between two major metro areas creates a unique employment dynamic — many residents work for Bay Area or Sacramento employers and are subject to those companies’ employment practices, while being physically located in Solano County. Travis Air Force Base also employs a large civilian workforce navigating the intersection of federal employment law and California state protections.

Civilian federal employees at Travis AFB are generally covered by federal employment law rather than California state law for many purposes, though California protections may apply in some circumstances. Federal civilian employees must typically use their agency’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) process before filing a discrimination lawsuit. The process and remedies differ significantly from private sector employment claims. We can help you understand which legal framework applies to your situation and how to proceed.
Yes. Solano County employees can file wrongful termination claims in Solano County Superior Court or, for federal claims, in the Northern or Eastern District of California depending on where the employer is headquartered or where the work was performed. California’s strong employment protections apply to all private sector Solano County workers regardless of the size of the employer. We investigate every firing to identify all available claims.
Retail and warehouse workers in Solano County are entitled to California’s full wage and hour protections — minimum wage, overtime (1.5x after 8 hours/day or 40 hours/week, 2x after 12 hours/day), 30-minute meal breaks for shifts over 5 hours, and 10-minute rest breaks every 4 hours. Off-the-clock work requirements — such as booting up computers before clocking in or undergoing security checks after clocking out — are illegal. We recover all unpaid wages plus penalties.
California law prohibits sexual harassment in all workplaces regardless of size. Both quid pro quo harassment (conditioning job benefits on sexual favors) and hostile work environment harassment (unwelcome sexual conduct that is severe or pervasive) are illegal. Employers are strictly liable for supervisor harassment and must take prompt corrective action for all harassment complaints. Solano County workers who experience harassment can recover lost wages, emotional distress damages, and punitive damages.
FEHA prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age (40+), marital status, medical condition, and pregnancy in all Solano County private sector workplaces. Federal law (Title VII, ADA, ADEA) provides parallel protections. Discrimination can occur in hiring, compensation, promotion, job assignments, and termination. We identify and pursue all available claims.
The Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) allows California employees to sue their employer on behalf of themselves and other aggrieved employees for Labor Code violations, without needing to form a class. PAGA claims are particularly powerful when wage violations affect many workers — for example, a retail chain in Solano County that systematically denies meal breaks. PAGA recoveries include civil penalties plus attorney fees. We evaluate PAGA eligibility in every wage consultation.
