California Fair Employment and Housing Act

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protects people working for companies of more than 5 employees from discrimination in a variety of business areas including advertisements, applications & interviews, hiring, promotion, termination, and compensation. The FEHA prohibits harassment based on a protected category against an employee, an applicant, an unpaid intern or volunteer, or a contractor. Protected traits include age, ancestry, nationality, race, disability, gender & gender identity, marital status, military or veteran status, religion, and sexual orientation. You have rights and we defend them.

Examples of Discrimination

Common examples of workplace discrimination due to affiliation with FEHA’s protected categories include: Termination or firing of an employee, failure to hire, decrease in pay or benefits, and denying a promotion. Proving a claim of discrimination can be challenging without direct evidence like emails, texts, and other correspondence; however, it is not impossible. The best thing to do would be to ask a lawyer what your options are. Consultations are free, and the advice could prove to be invaluable to not only yourself but your coworkers who may also be in a bad situation.
