Everyone deserves to work in a supportive, safe and fair environment. Harassment and discrimination have no place in the modern workplace. When employers fail to provide it, both state and federal law provide protections for employees.
The employment attorneys of Alexander Morrison + Fehr, LLP are skilled at handling California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Federal Title VII claims, as well as other sources of employment law protection. We are devoted to justice for employees, guiding our clients through the complex legal process of holding their employers accountable.
Protections Provided By FEHA And Title VII
Both private and public employers as well as labor unions and employment agencies are subject to the protections provided by FEHA. In essence, it prohibits employers with five or more employees from discriminating against or harassing employees based on:
- Race
- National origin
- Religion
- Gender
- Age
- Mental or physical disability
- Medical condition
- Sexual orientation
- Gender identity
- Marital status
- Military status
These protections extend to job applicants, volunteers, unpaid interns and contractors.
Question: “I think that I’m being paid less than male co-workers who do the same job with a different job title. Do I have a claim?”
Answer: You likely do have a claim. We can help you pursue compensation for violations of the California Fair Pay Act, the Equal Pay Act and other applicable pay and compensation laws.
