Discrimination

It is illegal to treat employees differently or unfairly because of their physical and/or mental disability, race, gender, disability, religion, age, or national origin. We have successfully obtained just compensation for employees discriminated against because of a protected category.

Disability Discrimination – Failure to Engage in the Interactive Process or Provide Reasonable Accommodation:

Under California law, employers have a duty to engage in a good faith interactive process and provide reasonable accommodation to employees with mental and/or physical disabilities. We help employees when they face employers who fail to engage in the interactive process and fail to provide reasonable accommodation to them.

Gender Discrimination:

Gender discrimination is complicated because it is subtle. However, both men and women can be discriminated against when they are passed over for promotions, growth opportunities, or other perks of the job based on their gender. We have successfully litigated against large corporations and public entities, and we can help you understand gender discrimination and provide you with the insight you need to better navigate the workplace.

Race Discrimination:

We successfully advise and litigate on behalf of employees discriminated against on the basis of their race. Racial discrimination is prevalent within large corporations and public entities. Racial discrimination exists when an employer treats an employee less favorably because of the employee’s race. California law and federal law outlaws such conduct.

Pregnancy Discrimination:

Pregnancy discrimination exists when an employer treats a pregnant employee less favorably upon learning about the employee’s pregnancy. California law provides various forms of accommodations and leaves to pregnant employees. We have successfully helped employees when their employers refused to provide them with accommodation or refused to return them back to their prior positions

Religious Discrimination:

When an employee has a sincerely held religious belief, and said religious belief conflicts with a job requirement, and the employer does not explore available reasonable alternatives of accommodating the employee, the employee can make a claim against the employer to enforce the California law that provides for said accommodation.

Sexual Orientation Discrimination:

Under California law, employers are not allowed to treat employees differently because of their sexual orientation. We have helped employees who were mistreated because of their sexual orientation.
