Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee or job applicant based on protected characteristics under the law.

Protected characteristics include:

– Race or ethnicity
– Color
– National origin or ancestry
– Religion or religious dress
– Sex, gender, or gender identity
– Sexual orientation
– Pregnancy or breastfeeding
– Age (40 and over)
– Disability or medical condition
– Marital status
– Military or veteran status
– Genetic information

Both California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibit such conduct.

Discrimination doesn’t always come in the form of blatant slurs or insults—it’s often subtle, systemic, or hidden under pretexts. Our firm represents clients in cases involving:

– Failure to hire, promote, or fairly compensate based on a protected characteristic
– Termination or demotion motivated by discriminatory reasons
– Unequal pay for equal work
– Harassment or hostile work environment
– Failure to provide reasonable accommodation for disabilities or religious practices
– Retaliation for reporting discrimination or participating in an investigation

Even if you’re still employed, you may have a claim if your working conditions, pay, or opportunities have been negatively affected due to discrimination.

Victims of workplace discrimination can seek a variety of remedies, including:

– Back pay and lost benefits
– Future lost wages (front pay)
– Compensation for emotional distress
– Punitive damages in cases of willful misconduct
– Reinstatement or promotion (when appropriate)
– Attorneys’ fees and costs
