FAQ

Legally, the term “discrimination” covers only actions that are taken against people because they belong to certain protected classes such as age, gender, race, and the many others that will be discussed in detail throughout this chapter.

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.

E) Discrimination in housing – When seeking an apartment for rent, the landlord tells you that “no children are allowed” (discrimination based on family status) or they won't rent to people under 25 years (age discrimination) because “they're too noisy and won't look after the place”.

Explain as clearly as possible what happened, why you believe it happened, and how you were discriminated against. Please include how other persons were treated differently from you, if applicable. If you were denied a benefit or service, please provide a copy of the denial letter.

Include the following in your complaint letter: Your name, address and telephone number. The name, address, and telephone number of your attorney or authorized representative, if you are represented. The basis of your complaint. The date(s) that the incident(s) you are reporting as discrimination occurred.

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.

If you are facing false accusations at work, it is important to remain calm and be honest. Do not confront your accuser or try to alter the facts. Gather as much evidence as possible to disprove the accusation. Speak to an attorney, human resources, and your union representative if you have one.

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.
