Discrimination

Employment discrimination occurs when an employee, intern, or job applicant suffers an adverse employment action based on certain protected characteristics. These characteristics can include race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, age, and sexual orientation, among others. Discrimination can manifest in various ways, such as hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, or even harassment.

California has enacted robust laws to combat employment discrimination, providing employees with significant protections. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) serves as a powerful shield against discriminatory practices.

Under FEHA, employers are prohibited from engaging in discriminatory practices and must provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities.
