Has your employer discriminated against you?
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), codified as Government Code §§12900 - 12996 is a powerful California statute used to fight sexual harassment and other forms of unlawful discrimination in employment and housing. FEHA prohibits employment discrimination based on the following "protected classes":
-
Race or color
-
Religion
-
National origin or ancestry
-
Physical disability
-
Mental disability or medical condition
-
Marital status
-
Sex or sexual orientation
-
Age
-
Pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions
FEHA also prohibits retaliation against anyone for opposing any practice forbidden by the Act or for filing a complaint, testifying, or assisting in proceedings under FEHA.
If you believe you’ve experienced discrimination and belong to one or more of the protected classes listed above, you may be eligible to take action. Submit your issue today to get guidance and resources tailored to your situation.

Comparisons showing unequal treatment of similarly situated employees
