However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.
On September 27, 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 1137 into law, clarifying that discrimination can happen based on an intersection or combination of protected characteristics.
To prove discrimination in the workplace, wrongful termination or workplace retaliation in California, you may need to present evidence that: You have been treated unjustly based on one of your protected characteristics. You are qualified, capable and honest and performed your job satisfactorily.
The following would be considered illegal discrimination if there is evidence that the decision was made based on a protected characteristic: Sexual Harassment. Refusal to Provide Services. Unfair Lending Practices. Misrepresenting the Availability of Housing. Refusal to Allow “Reasonable Modifications” Refusing Rental.
The law says you are protected when you: Speak up about wages that are owed to you • Report an injury or a health and safety hazard • File a claim or complaint with a state agency • Join together with other workers to ask for changes.
Therefore, assuming they work — or are applying to work — for a covered employer as outlined above, Title VII provides discrimination protection for all employees, former employees, and those applying to be employees.
