Employment Discrimination Litigation In Irvine

Was I Discriminated Against?

Employers can not make decisions concerning hiring, firing, lay-offs, promotions, demotions, compensation, raises, bonus opportunity, performance reviews, or other employment-related actions based on an employee’s “protected characteristic.”   

Types of “Protected Characteristics.” 

Discrimination is when the employer treats a worker differently because the worker:

• has any form of a medical condition, or their child or loved one does. 
• has any type of disability, or their child or loved one does.
• is over the age 40 
• is a certain gender (male, female, trans, cis or non-binary)
• is a certain race (Asian, Latinx, African, Caucasian, Indian, Indigenous) 
• has a certain national origin
• has a certain sexual orientation (straight, gay, lesbian, bi, asexual, pansexual)
• has certain religious preference (Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Athiest, Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, Sikhism, or any other type of spiritual preference)  
• is Pregnant or their partner is pregnant 

Am I Being Discriminated Against At Work? 

If you have some feeling that you are being treated differently than your counterparts for an unknown reason, you might be a victim of discrimination.   

Discrimination is often hidden and difficult to prove.  It can present itself through microaggressions such as not being invited to company parties or meetings, not given credit for your good work, or not being given raises while your counterparts are. 

On occasion the discrimination can be obvious, such as through comments: “We need to get rid of these old-timers, and get some young bucks in here.”  However, most of the time discrimination is not so apparent.  
Most often, when you have that “gut-feeling” you are being treated differently, you are.
