Workplace Discrimination

Every employee deserves to be treated fairly and evaluated based on their performance, qualifications, and contributions.

California law protects employees from discrimination in the workplace. When employment decisions are influenced by protected characteristics rather than job performance, employees may have legal rights and protections.

What Is Workplace Discrimination?

Workplace discrimination can involve unfavorable treatment based on:

• Race or ethnicity

• National origin

• Age

• Disability or medical condition

• Religion

• Sex or gender

• Pregnancy

• Sexual orientation

• Gender identity or expression

• Other protected characteristics under California law
  

Discrimination can affect hiring, promotions, discipline, compensation, scheduling, job assignments, and termination decisions.

Signs You May Have a Claim

Discrimination is not always obvious. Employees may notice patterns such as being treated differently than coworkers, being passed over for opportunities, receiving harsher discipline, being subjected to offensive comments, or experiencing negative changes in employment after revealing a protected characteristic.
