California Workplace Discrimination Lawyer

Home › California Employment Lawyer › California Workplace Discrimination Lawyer

Both federal and California employment discrimination laws protect employees from workplace discrimination. Any unfair or unequal treatment relying on specific characteristics is discrimination.

Our San Diego employment discrimination lawyers are experienced and skilled in probing, researching, negotiating, and litigation claims.

Unlawful discrimination means employers sack, demote or mistreat employees due to their medical conditions, race, gender, age, or other personal characteristics covered under the law.
At Lehr Law, we have a team of experienced California workplace discrimination lawyers representing workers across industries and niches who have experienced unlawful workplace dissemination.

Types Of Illegal Discrimination

California workplace discrimination laws protect various personal characteristics. Here are a few common unlawful workplace discrimination claims that our San Diego attorneys defended:

Age Discrimination

Under California workplace discrimination laws, discriminating against workers due to their age is illegal. Employees aged 40 or above have protection against unlawful treatment or firing solely because of age.

Disability Discrimination

Besides age, discrimination based on an employee’s mental or physical disability is illegal in California. No matter the disability – long term or short term – employers can’t discriminate against workers.

In fact, an employer has to offer good benefits and accommodation to disabled workers and interact amicably to know their accommodation needs.

Pregnancy And Gender Discrimination

Some other characteristics guarded by law include sexual orientation, genetic information, marital status, gender identity, and religion.
