Employment Law
Overview
State and federal laws protect employees against discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace. Your employer cannot discriminate against you based on race, age, gender, religion, physical disability or country of national origin.
You have a legal right to be free of employment discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Rouda Feder Tietjen McGuinn helps protect your rights and steps in when you have been wronged.
Not every type of unfair treatment at work is illegal—a boss can sometimes be a jerk without it amounting to a discriminatory practice. You must be a member of a protected class who is discriminated against in hiring, discipline, promotion, pay or access to training opportunities. We can analyze your situation and advise you of your legal options.
Please note that there are strict time limitations in filing an employment claim, as well as several administrative remedies that must be exhausted before we can take on any discrimination or harassment case. In California, an administrative complaint must be filed in accordance with the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). For information on how to do this, please contact us.
