Employees often are not well-informed of their rights in the workplace. As a California employee, you are protected by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) which enacted the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) against discrimination, harassment and various employment rights. Employees are protected under Federal law through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). There are many illegal reasons why someone may be discriminated against at work.

These include: age discrimination, racial discrimination, sexual discrimination, national origin discrimination, pregnancy discrimination or gender or sex discrimination. These are all illegal and if you have been the victim of this type of discrimination, you have rights!

Employees are also protected against a hostile or harassing work environment. Sexual harassment both in and out of the workplace is also forbidden by law in several situations. In addition, employment law covers such areas as: wrongful termination, whistle blowing, wage & overtime claims, worker’s compensation, breach of contract, implied & oral contracts, non-competition clauses, disability & workers’ comp, and pregnancy leave.
