An Orange County Superior Court judge has ruled that the former maid, Maria Jimenez, of Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa Bryant, may continue with her Wrongful Termination case<\/a>, but may not continue her claim for emotional distress or her claim for invasion of privacy since she knew cameras were installed in the Bryant home.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Bryant\u2019s are able to continue pursuing their counter claim against the maid for violating a confidentiality agreement for allegedly talking to reporters.<\/p>\n

Wrongful termination<\/a> cases in this economic climate are becoming more and more prevalent. Employers are faced with making hard choices regarding profitability and unfortunately employees get the short end of the stick sometimes since employers have the power.<\/p>\n

Strategy:                                    <\/span><\/strong>
\nIt is important to document your issue with your employer and seek the legal advice of a California labor law attorney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you have been hurt at work, immediately file a workers compensation claim.
\n\u2022 If you require FMLA (Family medical leave<\/a>) be sure to place such in writing to your employer.
\n\u2022 If you are pregnant, document such immediately to your employer.
\n\u2022 If you become disabled, inform your employer in writing.
\n\u2022 or experience any other situation that may be protected under California labor law<\/p>\n

Like many cases this one settled outside court for $200,000, seems small for the Bryant camp but keep in mind it is four times the plaintiff\u2019s annual salary. Clearly both sides felt it would be better to agree on this amount than to drag the matter out further.<\/p>\n
