Discrimination
Employment Discrimination laws seek to prevent
discrimination based on a variety of biases, including race, sex, religion,
physical disability, and several others. Discriminatory practices that are
against the law include bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination,
compensation, and various types of harassment.
In California, the State Constitution and the Fair
Employment and Housing Act prohibit discrimination in employment. The
Department of Fair Employment and Housing enforces California's laws against
discrimination and harassment. The federal government has promulgated several
laws that prohibit discrimination at work. For further information on the topic

action because strict deadlines and pleading rules apply to such claims.
