Workplace discrimination can manifest in a variety of insidious ways, impacting employees differently based on specific protected characteristics. Here are some common forms of discrimination that employees may face:
These discriminatory practices can appear in various employment decisions, including hiring, firing, promotions, salary, job assignments and training.
Victims of workplace discrimination have several legal remedies available to them. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) offers protections against discrimination, allowing employees to seek compensation for any violations. Remedies may include reinstatement, back pay and compensation for emotional distress. Filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) can be the first step in addressing these issues legally.
