Helping You Sue for Just Compensation
Discrimination in the workplace generally falls under one of two categories - disparate treatment, and disparate impact.
Most people are familiar with disparate treatment as a form of discrimination. It is illegal for an employer to terminate, demote, or refuse to hire an individual based on their membership in a protected class. In addition, employers cannot refuse to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious or disability needs, or knowingly allow an employee to be harassed by other employees. Disparate treatment typically requires proving discriminatory intent.
In comparison, disparate impact does not require discriminatory intent for employers to be held liable. This form of discrimination occurs when an employer adopts a policy that applies to all employees, but it has a greater negative impact on those under a protected class due to their membership in that class.
Under California law, the following are considered protected classes:
- Race
- Color
- Ancestry
- National origin
- Religion
- Sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions)
- Disability: Physical or mental
- Age (40 and older)
- Genetic information
- Marital status
- Sexual orientation
- Gender identity and gender expression
- AIDS/HIV
- Medical condition
- Political activities or affiliations
- Military or veteran status, and
- Status as a victim of domestic violence, assault, or stalking.
If you were discriminated against, and this was a significant factor in your termination, you may be able to seek monetary damages. Due to the complex nature of labor law matters, it is crucial to have skilled legal counsel on your side.
