EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION IN CALIFORNIA

Since the 1960s, the time of the Civil Rights movement, both CA and the federal government have put in place numerous laws that prohibit your employer from discriminating against you, the CA employee, on almost any grounds. Some behavior is not considered discriminatory. An experienced employment lawyer can help you determine if your employer discriminated against you.

The most well known employment anti-discrimination law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits your CA employer from discriminating on the basis of race, national origin, gender, or religion. The company you work for must have fifteen or more employees to be covered by this Act. Under Title VII, it is illegal for your employer to take any of the following actions against your based upon your race, national origin, gender, or religion:

  • Refuse to hire
  • Discipline
  • Fire
  • Deny training
  • Fail to promote
  • Pay less
  • Demote
  • Harass
