Understanding Workplace Discrimination: Your Rights and Protections
No one should face discrimination in their workplace. Workplace discrimination can manifest in various forms, from subtle microaggressions to overt harassment and retaliation, potentially impacting promotions and causing mental and emotional distress. If you’re facing such challenges, remember, you’re not powerless against those who control your paycheck.
Discrimination Laws: Federal and State Safeguards
Both federal and state laws offer protection against workplace discrimination. California is known for its strong employee-friendly laws. Discrimination based on protected classes—groups historically subjected to discrimination—is illegal. Federal anti-discrimination laws include:
– Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: Prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
– Age Discrimination in Employment Act: Protects individuals over 40.
– Americans with Disabilities Act: Guards against disability discrimination.
– Other laws covering aspects like pregnancy, genetic information, and equal pay.
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) broadens these protections, covering additional classes like sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, and more.
Workplace Discrimination: What It Looks Like and What To Do
Discrimination in the workplace can be either direct (overt actions against individuals) or indirect (policies that disadvantage protected classes). If you face discrimination, document incidents, report them in writing, and seek legal advice. For specific types of discrimination such as racial, age, disability, or gender-related issues, Goldfaden Law offers tailored legal assistance.
