In California, the Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits many unlawful and discriminatory behaviors against workers. This can include things like discrimination or harassment on the basis of your race, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability status, religion, marital status, national origin, or pregnancy status.
You are also protected in California by federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as laws like the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
Even with these strong protections in place, navigating the legal system when your company violates the law can be complicated. You need a Riverside employment lawyer who can help you to understand your options and pursue a complaint or claim through the most appropriate means.
