Sexual harassment can take many forms. As stated above, it is often sexually suggestive in nature. This might mean your boss offers you a raise if in return you give him a sexual favor.

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

CAN YOUR CALIFORNIA EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS?

Maybe not. For a clearer answer, discuss your situation with an experienced CA employment lawyer. Your employer certainly cannot discriminate against you and your body art because it represents something religious. Your religious choice and beliefs are protected against discrimination by your employer by CA and federal law. Do not let your employer discriminate against you.

If you, the CA employee, assert a right to a particular tattoo, jewelry or hairstyle on religious grounds, your employer cannot treat you more or less favorably because of these religious beliefs or practices. In fact, you must accommodate employees’ sincerely held religious practices, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship. However, your CA employer is not required to accommodate religious beliefs or practices if doing so would impose an undue hardship on legitimate business interests.

WHO IS LILY LEDBETTER AND HOW DOES SHE AFFECT MY RIGHTS AS A CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEE?

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of attention given to the new ‘Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.’ Who is Lilly Ledbetter and what does this Act mean for CA employees? The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was a reaction to an older Supreme Court ruling. The Act amended all of the major discrimination laws – Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. An experienced employment attorney can answer your questions more thoroughly about the Act.

The new Act applies to any individual who is claiming discrimination in compensation on any basis: race, sex, religion, age, national origin, disability, etc… Under the new law, employees who believe that they are victims of pay discrimination at any time during their employment may file a discrimination charge, as long as the discriminatory pay decision continues to have an effect on their pay. If the employee can prove that the pay decision was discriminatory, the court can award back pay going back two years from the date the charge is filed (or the date the lawsuit is filed in the case of an Equal Pay Act claim) to correct the discrimination. Additionally, the court can consider evidence of discrimination in compensation occurring prior to that period in determining the amount of damages.

If you are a CA employee who believes your employer is violating the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the experienced legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg are here to help. We have over 50 years of experience representing employees in discrimination claims against their employers. Our track record is proven — we can help you. Call the So Cal Law Offices of David H.

These accommodations include:

SWINE FLU DISCRIMINATION? NOT IN THE LOS ANGELES OR CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE.

For example, refusing to hire you, or firing you because you are of Mexican origin, because of a belief that Mexicans may be ill with swine flu could run violate anti-discrimination laws.

DID YOUR COMPANY RECEIVE GOVERNMENT AID THROUGH THE ARRA THAT THEY ARE USING FOR UNLAWFUL PURPOSES? CALL LOS ANGELES EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is an economic stimulus package enacted by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. Along with providing federal tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions, and domestic spending in education, health care, and infrastructure, the Act is infusing billions of dollars into the private sector. This could mean your California is benefiting directly.

To ensure that the money is actually used for their intended purpose, and to protect you, the employer who reports unlawful use of the money, Congress added a powerful whistleblower provision into the law. The provision protects employees who report suspected employer mishandling of the stimulus money and allows them to sue for damages and job loss if they suffer retaliation for reporting perceived abuse of the federal money. Don’t be afraid to come forward if you believe that your employer is breaking the law.
