Sex Discrimination in the Workplace
Gender discrimination is illegal under both state and federal law. In California, gender discrimination complaints are covered under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).
The following are examples of gender discrimination that are illegal:
- Paying women less than their male counterparts for similar jobs.
- Promoting women less frequently than their male counterparts, despite their qualifications.
- Discriminating against pregnant employees.
Sexual harassment is another form of gender discrimination. One example of sexual harassment would be when a manager or supervisor demands sexual favors in exchange for employment benefits. Another example is the creation or toleration of a work environment that is hostile to women.
You do not have to put up with gender discrimination in the workplace. If your employer fires you, disciplines you or takes any adverse actions against you for reporting gender discrimination or for supporting another's claim, you may have a separate legal action against your employer for retaliation.
