Discrimination or Harassment

How do I know I'm facing discrimination or experiencing harassment?

Facing discrimination or harassment at work can be a stressful and painful experience. It can breed a toxic workplace environment and make you dread or feel anxious about going into work each day. Fortunately, California law protects workers from discrimination.


Discrimination is the unfair or unequal treatment of an individual based on certain characteristics.

In the state of California, it is unlawful for employers to discriminate against employees based on:

  • Race, color
  • Nationality, national origin, ancestry
  • Religion, creed
  • Age (over 40)
  • Disability - mental or physical
  • Sex, gender
  • Sexual orientation
  • Gender identity, gender expression
  • Medical condition (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions)
  • Genetic information
  • Marital status
  • Military and/or veteran status

Some examples of discrimination may include:

  • Refusal to hire
  • Termination
  • Denial of training
  • Failure to promote
  • Unequal pay
  • Demotion
  • Harassment

What should I do if I believe I'm facing discrimination or experiencing harassment?
