Discrimination & Harassment Law in California

Discrimination and harassment in the workplace are serious issues that affect many employees across California each year. State and federal laws, including the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, protect employees from unlawful discrimination and harassment based on protected classes, such as race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and more. These laws are designed to ensure that employees work in environments free from bias, hostility, and unfair treatment. Similarly, harassment—including sexual harassment—is prohibited when it creates a hostile work environment or leads to adverse employment decisions. Navigating a discrimination or harassment case alone can be challenging, especially when employers or HR departments are unwilling to address these issues. Hiring experienced employment lawyers at Greenstone Law can make a significant difference in both the outcome of the case and your ability to move forward.

Workplace discrimination can take many forms, from being wrongfully terminated or denied a promotion or a job opportunity based on a protected trait to being subjected to unequal treatment in terms of pay, assignments, or benefits. Harassment, on the other hand, includes unwelcome conduct that targets an employee’s protected status, such as offensive comments, slurs, jokes, or unwanted physical contact or unwelcome advances. Both forms of misconduct can severely impact an employee’s ability to work in a safe and respectful environment.

California law protects employees by requiring employers to take reasonable steps to prevent and address discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Employers who fail to do so can be held liable for the harm caused to their employees. If an employee reports these issues, employers are also legally obligated to investigate and address the situation. When employers fail to take action—or worse, retaliate against the employee for reporting misconduct—the law provides remedies for the affected individuals, and this is where hiring an employment attorney becomes essential.
