Discrimination

What is Employment Discrimination?

Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfavorably because of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides even broader protections than federal law. Mohseni Law Group advocates for employees who face discriminatory treatment in hiring, promotion, compensation, or workplace conditions.

Types of Discrimination:

• Direct Discrimination: Explicit differential treatment based on protected characteristics.

• Indirect Discrimination: Policies or practices that appear neutral but disproportionately affect protected groups.

• Systemic Discrimination: Institutional patterns of discriminatory practices affecting multiple employees.

Protected Characteristics Under California Law:

• Traditional Categories: Race, gender, religion, national origin, age (40+), and disability.

• California Expansions: Sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, and military status.

• Emerging Protections: Genetic information, medical conditions, and political activities or affiliations.
