Understanding Discrimination in the Workplace

Discrimination in the workplace can look very different from case to case. Discrimination can be seen in job listing, questions during interviews, the screening process, hiring, and even other employment decisions, including but not limited to transferring, promoting, demoting, and terminating, for example. Discrimination can also be visible in specific assignments/duties, working conditions, opportunities (such as work trips, conventions, etc.), and more. Of course, in some cases, discrimination is most obvious in pay and other compensation.

Discrimination is unfair treatment based on personal characteristics. Under California ‘s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), it is illegal for employers to discriminate employees on the basis of the following:

• Race
• Color
• National origin
• Ancestry
• Age (specifically 40 and older)
• Sexual orientation
• Gender identity and expression
• Sex and gender (including pregnancy)
• Genetic information
• Medical conditions
• Marital status
• Military/veteran status

It is important to note that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. Even when certain types of discrimination are not explicitly mentioned, it could still be covered. If you were discriminated against or terminated based on any protected characteristic, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

The Most Common Types of Discrimination in the Workplace

Some of the most frequent types of employment discrimination include pregnancy discrimination and racial discrimination. Below, you will find a few examples of what these types of compensation could look like.

Pregnancy Discrimination – this type of discrimination is protected under sex discrimination and gender discrimination. Some examples of pregnancy discrimination can include the following:

• Unwarranted demotions/terminations after the employer finds out or is informed about the pregnancy
• Being denied requests for light-duty
• Being refused time-off for prenatal care
• Being demoted/terminated after applying for leave
• Being refused additional breaks for expressing breastmilk throughout the day
• Being refused a private area to express breastmilk

Racial Discrimination – this type of discrimination is explicitly covered by the FEHA. Some examples of racial discrimination in the workplace could include the following:

• Being assigned to undesirable tasks
• Being denied time off while others are approved to take time off regularly
• Being subject to consequences while others get away without consequences (for being late, missing deadlines, etc.)
• Being paid less for the same work
• Being the subject of jokes, comments, and racial slurs
• Being passed up for promotions even though others are not as qualified/experienced

Wrongful Termination – when an employee is fired based on a personal characteristic protected by employment law, the termination could be considered wrongful. Wrongful termination is typically what follows weeks, months, or years of workplace discrimination. The issue with wrongful termination is that employers often manipulate the situation to make the termination appear to be valid; for instance, they could claim that terminations are based on misconduct, lack of performance, or even restructuring). Because of this, it is essential for employees to have records of the discrimination that they suffered leading up to their termination.

What Can I Do?

In California, workplace discrimination claims and wrongful termination claims must be filed through the state’s employment agency – the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). This employment agency is responsible for enforcing the FEHA and handling all employment claims that arise. When reports of workplace discrimination are filed, the agency investigates the report to determine if employment laws have been violated; if there is a violation, then the agency takes action against the employer.

Do I have the right to file a civil lawsuit against my employer? Yes, you could have the right to file a civil lawsuit. However, since these employment claims must go through the DFEH, affected employees must be granted the right to sue from the employment agency. After the right to sue is granted, affected employees must reach out to an experienced employment lawyer. Your lawyer should be able to sue your employer under employment law and secure the compensation that you are owed. Although every employment claim is different, you could be awarded compensation for lost income, lost benefits, and more.
