Labor Code section 232 prohibits an employer from discharging or retaliating against an employee for disclosing his or her wages.
230. (a) An employer shall not discharge or in any manner discriminate against an employee for taking time off to serve as required by law on an inquest jury or trial jury, if the employee, prior to taking the time off, gives reasonable notice to the employer that the employee is required to serve.
No employer may do any of the following: (a) Require, as a condition of employment, that an employee refrain from disclosing the amount of his or her wages. (b) Require an employee to sign a waiver or other document that purports to deny the employee the right to disclose the amount of his or her wages.
In general, a complaint of employment discrimination must be filed within three years from the date an alleged discriminatory act occurred. You must file a complaint with CRD even if you wish to file a case directly in court.

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.
Evidence in a discrimination case in California typically includes: emails, text messages, recordings, disciplinary forms, termination documents, or a copy of your employment contract if one exists. If you're like most Californians, you spend an inordinate amount of time at work.
