A former employee is taking legal action against her previous employer, alleging a range of workplace violations that include discrimination and wrongful termination. On February 24, 2026, Dariana Ramirez-Bravo filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, against La Terraza, Inc., claiming multiple breaches of employment law.
The case outlines a series of grievances experienced by Ramirez-Bravo during her tenure at La Terraza, Inc., where she worked as a server and bartender starting February 19, 2025. She accuses the company of sex/gender discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), stating that her health needs were dismissed by male managers who deemed them “not appropriate.” This dismissal led to a reduction in her work hours from five days to two days per week after she reported gender-based mistreatment. Ramirez-Bravo’s complaint also highlights instances of hostile work environment harassment and retaliation following her complaints about discriminatory treatment. Her employment was terminated on June 24, 2025, under what she claims were false allegations of misconduct.
Ramirez-Bravo asserts that La Terraza failed to provide legally required meal and rest periods and did not pay all wages owed upon termination. She received inaccurate wage statements lacking necessary information as mandated by law. The plaintiff is seeking compensation for economic losses such as lost earnings and benefits, as well as non-economic damages for emotional distress caused by the alleged mistreatment. Furthermore, she requests punitive damages due to the malice and oppression demonstrated by La Terraza’s actions.
In her lawsuit, Ramirez-Bravo demands various forms of relief from the court: past and future non-economic damages amounting to no less than $1 million; general damages; exemplary and punitive damages; back pay; statutory penalties; restitution; attorneys’ fees; costs; prejudgment interest; post-judgment interest; and any other relief deemed just by the court.
Represented by attorney David M. Safvati from Westview Law PC, Ramirez-Bravo seeks justice through this legal battle against La Terraza. The case is being overseen in the Superior Court of California with Case ID: 260004313.
