The United States government has been working for many years to end discrimination in the workplace. There are many laws on the books to protect workers, but unfortunately, employment discrimination still exists. While employers are free, for the most part, to set pay scales, hire, and fire however they see fit, the law prevents them from basing these decisions on race, religion, age, sex, and, under newer statutes, disability and sexual orientation. The laws covering these forms of employment discrimination derive from the California Labor Code, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
If you feel that hiring, firing, pay, or treatment at your place of employment is being based on discriminatory criteria, you may be entitled to compensation. For a consultation regarding an employment discrimination case involcing you and your family, feel free to contact us.
