We are fierce advocates of those who have endured discrimination in the workplace, so let us get to work on your behalf today.

Gender Discrimination In The Workplace

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) strictly prohibits discrimination based on an employee’s gender, gender expression, or gender identity. This includes discriminatory employment practices with regard to:

  • Hiring
  • Disciplinary actions
  • Termination
  • Job assignments
  • Layoff decisions
  • Promotions
  • Wage increases or decreases
  • Fringe benefits
  • Any other terms or conditions of employment

Gender Discrimination Can Affect The Workplace

There are various ways that gender discrimination can show up in California workplaces. For example, this type of discrimination can lead to the following:

  • Unequal pay between genders: Traditionally, studies have shown that women make less on the dollar compared to their male counterparts in the same job. A disparity in compensation can also exist between the different genders and gender identities, resulting in unfair compensation for certain individuals.
  • Unfair promotion and job position opportunities: The “glass ceiling” has long applied to women who have watched their male counterparts rise to better positions within a company. Unfortunately, individuals of all genders and gender identities may face similar struggles in the modern workplace.
  • Harassment: Men, women, transgender individuals, and those with non-conforming gender identities often face various types of harassment in the workplace.
  • Retaliation: Employees should never have to experience retaliation from employers because of their gender identity or biological gender. Retaliation often occurs in the form of termination, disciplinary actions, demotions, pay cuts, etc.
