What Qualifies as Discrimination at Work?
Employment discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfairly based on protected characteristics. Both California law (Fair Employment and Housing Act – FEHA) and Federal Law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) prohibit workplace discrimination based on:
- Race, color, or ethnicity
- Gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation
- Age (40 and older)
- Religion or creed
- Pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions
- Disability (physical or mental)
- National origin or immigration status
- Marital status
- Military or veteran status
Discrimination can occur at any stage of employment, from hiring decisions to promotions, layoffs, pay, benefits, and workplace policies. If you suspect workplace discrimination, employment discrimination attorneys can help evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process. If an employer treats you differently or creates a hostile work environment based on one of these protected characteristics, you may have a legal claim.
How Do You Prove Unfair Discrimination at Work?
Proving workplace discrimination requires strong evidence. A skilled employment discrimination attorney can help you gather the right documentation to support your case.
Key Evidence That Can Help Prove Workplace Discrimination:
✔ Direct Evidence – Written or verbal statements that show discrimination (e.g., an email from a manager saying they won’t hire older employees).
✔ Circumstantial Evidence – Patterns of unfair treatment, such as only certain demographics being denied promotions or fired.
✔ Comparative Evidence – If an employer treats employees with similar job duties differently based on protected characteristics, this can help prove discrimination.
✔ Performance Reviews & Job History – If you were performing well but suddenly received unjustified negative evaluations, demotions, or termination, it could indicate retaliation or discrimination.
✔ Witness Testimony – Coworkers who witness discriminatory behavior can provide powerful testimony.
✔ Employment Policies & Company Records – Reviewing hiring practices, salary differences, and disciplinary actions can highlight discriminatory trends.
At Bibiyan Law Group, our attorneys take a client-first approach, ensuring that your experiences and voice are heard while building a strong case on your behalf.
Is It Worth Suing an Employer for Discrimination?
Many employees hesitate to take legal action against their employers because they worry about retaliation, job loss, or lengthy legal battles. However, speaking with employment discrimination attorneys can help you understand your options and assess the strength of your case before making a decision. If you have experienced workplace discrimination, pursuing a case can lead to:
1. Financial Compensation
- Victims of workplace discrimination may be entitled to:
- Lost wages and benefits
- Compensation for emotional distress
- Punitive damages (if the employer’s behavior was particularly egregious)
2. Job Reinstatement or Policy Changes
In some cases, courts may reinstate wrongfully terminated employees or require workplace policy changes to prevent future discrimination.
3. Holding Employers Accountable
By taking legal action, employees help set a precedent that discrimination will not be tolerated. This can protect other workers from experiencing the same mistreatment.
At Bibiyan Law Group, P.C., our employment discrimination attorneys understand that suing an employer is a big decision, which is why we provide personalized legal guidance to help you determine if a lawsuit is the right path.
