In addition to Federal Law, many classes of individuals who work in California receive greater coverage for discrimination, harassment and other employment related suits. The law is the Fair Employment and Housing Act (‘FEHA’) and it includes the following categories (but are not limited to):

• sex
• gender
• race
• ancestry
• national origin
• color
• sexual orientation
• religion
• medical disability (including HIV/AIDS diagnosis)
• marital status
• age (40 and over)
• medical conditions; and
• refusal of family care leave

There are other protections which are not listed here which may offer you more protection under Federal or other State Laws. Our general website: http://www.discriminationattorney.com discusses many of these protections at length and offers more general information.

If you believe you qualify as one of these classes and you have been the victim of harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination or other employment issues in California, please call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H.
