Have You Been Discriminated Against?
In California an employer cannot terminate your employment, fail to promote you, decrease your hours, isolate you or take any adverse employment action against you because you belong to a protected class. A protected class or category is a term that defines a set of personal traits that are typically unchangeable and have no effect on an employee's work performance and include:
- Race
- National origin
- Religion
- Gender
- Sex
- Sexual Orientation
- Age
- Disability or pregnancy
- Marital status
These classes are legally protected in a workplace by particular federal, California and local laws or statutes. If an employer punishes you for being a member of one or more protected classes, you may have a claim for employment discrimination. Usually, an employee must show that he/she is a member of a "protected class" and that he/she suffered an "adverse employment action."
