I’M BEING HARASSED AND DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AT MY CALIFORNIA JOB, HELP!

California state law forbids harassment and discrimination in the workplace. In fact, CA labor law contains two separate sections on the matters: one forbidding discrimination and another forbidding harassment. In addition, individual employees cannot be held personally liable for discrimination, but they can be for harassment. The test for whether conduct amounts to harassment is if the employer conveyed an “abusive message.” An experienced employment attorney can help you define abusive.

Discrimination can occur over a person’s religion, age, sexual orientation, gender, race or nationality. An employer can discriminate against you by not promoting you, demoting you, or firing you just because of one of the above-mentioned factors. Whether you are being discriminated against or harassed at work, you have the law on your side. Stand up for your rights and win thousands of dollars in damages from your employer in the process!
