  3. Racial Discrimination Using race as the basis for making employment decisions is illegal by both state and federal standards. Moreover, employers that tolerate racial discrimination and harassment can be held legally responsible for allowing such behaviour to occur.

  4. National Origin Discrimination Similar to racial discrimination, national origin discrimination occurs when a person’s home country, ancestry or culture forms the basis of discriminatory actions on the part of his or her employer.

  5. Disability Discrimination The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s own Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protect qualified employees with disabilities against discrimination. Under these laws, employers must provide reasonable accommodations for such employees who can perform the essential functions of a position.

  6. Pregnancy Discrimination California has unique laws above and beyond the federal law that protect women’s rights to pregnancy leave. These laws require that employers treat pregnant women the same as other employees for all employment purposes, including benefits such as reasonable pregnancy leave.

  7. Age Discrimination Sometimes older employees become victims of discrimination in hiring or receiving other job benefits. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and FEHA protect the rights of workers 40 and older from discrimination based on their age.

  8. Sexual Orientation Discrimination While there are currently no federal laws governing discrimination based on sexual orientation or affiliation, California law specifically protects heterosexuals, homosexuals (gays and lesbians) and bisexuals from sexual orientation discrimination. It further protects transsexuals and transgender persons from discrimination.
