Habachihana Grill Work Discrimination and Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Lawyers

Under California law, specifically the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), it is illegal for employers to discriminate their employees for the following protected characteristics:

• Race and color
• National origin and ancestry
• Age (only 40 and older)
• Sexual orientation
• Gender identity
• Gender expression
• Sex and gender (including pregnancy)
• Medical conditions
• Genetic information
• Marital status
• Military and veteran status

Discrimination can be apparent in job listings (job descriptions), during interviews, and during the rest of the hiring process. In existing employees, discrimination can be apparent in specific working conditions, assignments/duties, opportunities, promotions, demotions, transfers, and terminations, for instance.

Discrimination on the basis of race is one of the most common types of workplace discrimination. Employees might suffer mistreatment based on their race. Some examples of race discrimination in the workplace can include the following:

• Being undesigned to tasks considered undesirable or low tier
• Being denied time off while others’ requests are approved
• Being subjected to rules that others are not subjected to
• Being subjected to consequences that others are not subjected to
• Being paid less for the same work being performed
• Being passed up for promotions and other opportunities even when qualified in favor of an employee of the favored race

Pregnancy discrimination is also very common. Employees might be treated differently from the moment that their pregnancy becomes known. Examples of pregnancy discrimination may include the following:

• Being demoted or fired immediately or soon after the employer finds out about the pregnancy
• Being denied light-duty requests
• Being denied time-off from work for prenatal care
• Being demoted or fired after informing the employer about going on leave
• Being denied additional breaks to express breastmilk
• Being denied a private area to express breastmilk
• Being fired or demoted after coming back from leave

Any type of workplace discrimination that ultimately leads to the employee being unlawfully fired can be considered wrongful termination. Wrongful termination is usually the final form of workplace discrimination that could follow weeks, months, or years of discrimination against the employee. Unfortunately, many employers get away with these unlawful terminations because they make up reasons for the termination. For example, they might claim that the termination is based on performance issues, misconduct, or even restructuring of the company. Wrongful termination is illegal, and it is important that employees who have been wrongfully terminated on the basis of protected characteristics as outlined by state employment law seek legal help as soon as possible.

In California, all employment claims including work discrimination claims and wrongful termination claims must go through the state’s employment agency, which is the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The DFEH enforces state employment laws and is responsible for handling employment claims. When the DFEH receives a complaint, the agency investigates the complaint to determine whether the FEHA (or other state employment laws) have been violated. If so, the DFEH will act against the employer.
