Workplace Discrimination - Sex Gender
At Work Lawyers PC, we are experiencing in fighting for the employment rights of all California employees. Under California law, all employees should be free from discrimination based upon their:
- Age
- Family
- Equality of Pay
- Sex
- Race
- Gender
- Mental Health
- National origin
- Physical Disability
- Religious
These protected characteristics California employers are not allowed to treat one employee less favorably than another because of a specific protected feature.
Common Examples of Workplace Discrimination include:
- An employer fires an older employee because they believe the employee is working too slowly because they’re older
- An employer fires an employee she thinks is gay because she thinks gay people do not work as hard as heterosexual people
- An employer fires an employee who speaks Spanish because he thinks Spanish speaking employees are not hard working.
- An employer fires an employee with sick children because he is asking for time off to care for his children.
- An employer fires an employee with PTSD because she is asking for medical leave to see her psychiatrist.
- An employer fires an employee who is a woman because she believes women do not work hard after they have children.
