HIRE OUR DISCRIMINATION LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES

Employment discrimination is the act of unfairly treating an employee based on characteristics, such as their age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, race or if they’re pregnant. In most cases, employees tend to endure in silence, fearing they could lose their job or experience retaliation. No matter the circumstances, you must urge yourself and your co-workers to speak up if anyone of you is experiencing discrimination. Employers are only allowed to levy restrictions on you by judging your professional performance or your behavior within the workspace.

If you experience any form of inequality owing to a discriminatory reason, then you have strong grounds for filing a legal case against your employers. An employment, age, gender, and race discrimination lawyer in Los Angeles can help you secure damages you’re eligible for. Rather than letting go of subtle discriminatory actions on part of your employer, it’s better to take necessary action.

Fight Back Against Employment Discrimination With Siman Law Firm

Certain employers prefer subtle actions while others are more overt, but it’s important to act against unjust behavior.

It’s illegal within the state of California for your employer to discriminate against any employee due to the following factors:

• Age

Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), it is prohibited for your employer to make any adverse employment-related decisions simply based on an employee’s age (40 or older). This is includes denying employees benefits and professional advancement opportunities, or terminating them to make way for hiring younger replacements.

• Medical Condition or Disability

Under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is prohibited for employers to discriminate based on an employee’s disability. This includes any disability that the employee has made the employer aware of and any disability the employer may perceive that the employee has.

• Pregnancy

Under federal and state laws, it is prohibited for employers to exercise workplace discrimination against pregnant women, new fathers, and new mothers. This includes preventing parents from taking leaves for bonding with and nurturing their child.

• Religious Discrimination

According to labor laws, employers are prohibited from exercising any form of discriminatory behavior against their employee due to their religious beliefs, religious practices or lack of religious beliefs. Each employee must be treated equally irrespective of their religious inclinations or lack thereof.

• Sex Discrimination

Employers in the state of California are prohibited from engaging in any discriminatory behavior against applicants or employees based on their gender or sex. Under California’s Equal Pay Act, it is prohibited for employers to pay less compensation to an employee compared to the opposite sex performing the same duties for higher compensation.
