Protecting California Employees from Workplace Discrimination: Your Rights and Our Commitment

At Gruzen Moussly Law, we are dedicated to safeguarding the rights of California employees against workplace discrimination. Despite robust legal protections, discrimination based on protected characteristics remains a persistent issue in workplaces across the state. Our firm is committed to advocating for employees who have faced unfair treatment and ensuring they receive the legal protections they deserve.

California law, including the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), prohibits discrimination against employees based on various protected characteristics, including race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age (40 and older), disability (physical and mental), genetic information, marital status, and military or veteran status. These protections apply to all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, and work conditions.

Discrimination can manifest in various ways, such as unfair hiring practices, unequal pay or benefits, denial of promotions or training opportunities, harassment or creation of a hostile work environment, unfavorable work assignments or schedules, and wrongful termination. California law provides strong protections for employees facing discrimination. Employers are required to maintain a workplace free from discrimination and harassment, provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities or religious beliefs, and prevent retaliation against employees who report discrimination.

If you believe you have been a victim of workplace discrimination, it’s crucial to take action. Document all incidents of discriminatory behavior, report the discrimination to your employer through proper channels, and seek legal counsel to understand your rights and options.

We can evaluate your case and explain your legal rights, guide you through the complaint process with state and federal agencies, negotiate with employers on your behalf, and represent you in litigation if necessary.
