Standing Up for Employees’ Rights in California

In recent years, California has added or modified several state regulations to better protect employees against different forms of discrimination. Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, California has some of the most employee friendly laws in the Country. While federal law, in particular Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, does provide protection to California employees, most employment law claims for discrimination in California are brought under the Fair Employment and Housing Act.
