Yes, you can take legal action against a company for unfair treatment. California's employment laws protect individuals from discrimination, sexual harassment, and wrongful termination. If you believe you've been treated unfairly at work, it's essential to understand your rights and the legal avenues available to you.
An employer has the right to set certain policies regarding the behavior and performance of employees. Policies must be easily accessible to all employees and must be enforced equally. In other words, the employer cannot enforce rules against only certain employees in a manner that is discriminatory.
The following definitions are from the University of California – Anti-Discrimination Policy. Discrimination is defined as an Unfavorable Action taken because of an individual's actual or perceived Protected Category.
California Chamber of Commerce defines discrimination in the workplace as either actions taken against employees or that give differential treatment to employees “because they belong to certain protected classes,” such as race, color, gender, sexual orientation, origin, medical condition, religion, disability, and age.
Compare your work, conduct and treatment to that of those outside of your protected class as much as possible. Provide proof that others of similar qualifications have been given better opportunities, projects that are more favorable and superior treatment.
California is generally an “at-will” state, meaning either the employer or employee can terminate the employment at any time for any reason or no reason. However, there can be exceptions, such as anything written into a contract or anything that is classified as discrimination or retaliation, among other things.
