Employment discrimination is a complex issue that can have long-lasting effects on employees’ careers and well-being. It involves unfair treatment of an individual or group based on specific protected characteristics, such as age, gender, race or disability. Such discriminatory practices are not only unethical but also illegal under various federal and state laws. If you believe you have been subjected to workplace discrimination, it is crucial to seek legal assistance to protect your rights. Our local employment lawyer at the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro is dedicated to advocating for employees who have experienced mistreatment and discrimination in the workplace.
Multiple federal laws protect employees from all types of discrimination, including the Civil Rights Act, the ADEA and the ADA. California state law offers further protections under the FEHA. These statutes allow employees to work in environments free from discrimination and harassment.
Victims of employment discrimination can file a complaint with the EEOC, which will investigate the claim and determine if there is sufficient evidence to pursue legal action. Additionally, individuals can file claims under state laws with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).
Having an experienced attorney is critical in navigating the complexities of employment discrimination cases. An attorney can help gather evidence, file claims and represent the victim’s best interests in negotiations or litigation.
