What differentiates legal from illegal discrimination is what the law says (or doesn't say). Discrimination is illegal if the law specifically prohibits it.
If you've experienced unlawful discrimination, you can complain to the person or organisation who's discriminated against you. You can also make a discrimination claim in the civil courts. Read this page to find out what you should do before you take action about unlawful discrimination.
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.
For discrimination complaints related to housing, employment, or business establishments, you may contact the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) at 800-884-1684 (voice), 800-700-2320 (TTY). You may also visit the DFEH page for additional information.
Again, there are three elements employees have to prove: First: The employee engaged in protected activity. Second: The employer took an adverse employment action against the employee. Third: The employer took against the employee because of the protected activity.
In employment cases, you must submit an intake form to CRD within three years of the date you were last harmed. In most other cases, you must do this within one year of the date you were last harmed.
A strong retaliation case typically involves clear evidence of three key elements: the employee's engagement in a protected activity, an adverse action taken by the employer, and a demonstrable causal connection between the two.
Although the specific evidence can vary from case to case, your attorney can help you prove that: You've faced or witnessed some form of illegal harassment or discrimination. You took part in a protected activity. In response, your employer took adverse action against you (demotion, termination, etc.).
In California, how much a retaliation case is worth depends on if the case is settled in or outside of court. Cases that settle outside of court can expect approximately $5,000 – $100,000. Cases that receive a winning court verdict can expect approximately $150,000 – $1,000,000.
