The good old boy network is alive and well at many Bay Area employers. Companies continue to treat women differently than men in workplace, paying them less, failing to promote them despite superior job performance, and creating workplaces that are hostile to women.

What Is Gender Discrimination Under the Law?

California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Federal laws under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibit employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of their sex. Prohibited behavior includes:

• Treating female employees differently from male employees.
• Paying female employees less than male employees who do the same work.
• Failure to promote female employees despite superior job performance.
• Adopting employment policies that have a disparate impact on male and female employees.
• Discriminating against pregnant employees.

While some forms of gender discrimination are obvious, other forms may be more subtle, such as bias in assignment of work tasks or poor job reviews despite adequate performance. Gender discrimination may include a sexually hostile work environment that subjects women to dirty jokes and lewd language, sexually explicit e-mails, pornography and offensive touching.

If you think you have been the victim of gender discrimination, you do not have to tolerate the behavior. The Armstrong Law Firm's gender discrimination lawyers in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose will help you seek compensation and justice for the wrongs you have suffered.

Your employer cannot retaliate against you because you report gender harassment. In other words, your employer cannot demote you, give you a poor work performance evaluation or fire you for standing up for your rights.

The Armstrong Law Firm was very knowledgeable and aggressive in representing me against a company that previously refused to take my claims seriously until I hired Kelly Armstrong and her lawyers. I am very happy with the resolution of my case and recommend them to all employees who need excellent lawyers."

There were five of us female employees who were sexually harassed at work … for years. The daily sexual comments, cat calls, leering, staring, grabbing and gross remarks made us feel sick and like we were just objects. Management didn't take it seriously until we hired Kelly Armstrong of The Armstrong Law Firm. She took over our case and made the other side pay all of us for our emotional distress. I highly recommend her to all sexual harassment victims who want her to fight for them to the finish."

My manager began harassing and discriminating against me after I told him I was pregnant … He began trying to set me up for termination by falsely accusing me of poor work performance … Kelly Armstrong and her team achieved a financial resolution for me that sent a clear message to my employer and allowed me to resume my life in a positive way."
