There are certain groups of people that are considered as vulnerable to employment discrimination in California. The protected classes include those that can be discriminated on the basis of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Religion<\/li>\n<li>Marital Status<\/li>\n<li>Sexual identity and Orientation<\/li>\n<li>Disability<\/li>\n<li>Citizenship status<\/li>\n<li>Age<\/li>\n<li>Race<\/li>\n<li>Political orientation<\/li>\n<li>National Origin and<\/li>\n<li>HIV status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For this reason, the federal laws and the state laws are protective of the individuals who fall under these categories of protected classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Fair Employment and Housing Act is a key player in the labor laws that protect against employment discrimination in California. In addition to this, several federal laws are applicable in favor of the laborers in California. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Americans with Disability Act are some of the federal laws that protect against employment discrimination. Although the federal laws are favorable to all, the Fair Employment and Housing Act in California gives employees more leverage when it comes to getting justice for violations of their rights. For example, under the federal laws, one gets only 180 days to file a case in the event of discrimination while the state laws allow a time of up to 1 year for an employee to file a court case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to do when you face Employment Discrimination in California<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is important to fight for your rights, and it is even better when you have professionals on your side.
