JOKES IN THE CA WORKPLACE: WHEN ARE THEY OK?

In the CA workplace, there are plenty of times when ‘just kidding” doesn’t cut it. Jokes in the workplace that touch on ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation would be among them. Additionally, jokes about race and religion might be considered discriminatory or harassing. Race, religion, nationality, age, gender, and sexual orientation are all protected groups. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if your boss or co-worker is making inappropriate comments or jokes about these categories.

If your boss or co-worker makes a joke to you or about you regarding your race, religion, nationality, age, gender, or sexual orientation, speak up. You may want to do so privately if you feel more comfortable. Talk to your boss or an HR employee and let them know that you will not stand for such unlawful and inappropriate behavior.
