Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability or religion. Under California law, specifically the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employees are protected from discriminatory treatment stemming from these protected characteristics.Â
Discrimination can manifest in various ways, including but not limited to:Â
Importantly, discrimination doesn’t have to be blatant to qualify as unlawful. Subtle or indirect actions that create a hostile work environment can also be legally actionable.Â
Being discriminated against in the workplace can take a serious toll, both personally and professionally. It may lead to:Â
These consequences don’t just stop at work. The stress created by workplace discrimination often extends into personal relationships and day-to-day life.Â
Navigating workplace discrimination laws can be complex.

This is where an experienced workplace discrimination lawyer can make a difference.Â
