Facing Employee Discrimination in the Workplace?
Employee discrimination comes in many forms, and can even begin before your first day on the job. Governed by the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), California discrimination laws make it unlawful to hire, fire, promote or refuse to promote an employee based upon age, disability, gender identity, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion or sex. In addition to the FEHA, there are other federal statutes that guard against more specific types of employee discrimination for Los Angeles area workers.
For example:
- the Equal Pay Act protects against gender discrimination in the workplace
- the Americans with Disabilities Act bans disability discrimination
- the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects employees over the age of 40 from experiencing age discrimination at work
