Understanding Workplace Discrimination in California
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfairly due to a protected characteristic. California’s robust employment laws provide some of the strongest protections in the nation, prohibiting discrimination in hiring, promotions, compensation, terminations, and other employment practices. Common forms of workplace discrimination include:
- Race and Ethnicity Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on race, color, or national origin.
- Gender Discrimination: Bias against employees due to their gender, including issues related to pregnancy or gender identity.
- Age Discrimination: Targeting employees over 40, often in favor of younger workers.
- Disability Discrimination: Failure to provide reasonable accommodations or unfair treatment due to physical or mental disabilities.
- Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination: Discrimination against LGBTQ+ employees.
- Religious Discrimination: Denying accommodations or treating employees differently due to their religious beliefs.
If you’ve experienced hostile work environments, wrongful termination, or retaliation for reporting discrimination, our California workplace discrimination attorney is here to help you navigate your legal options.
