Know Your Rights Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act
California employees have rights under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which covers employers with five or more employees for discrimination claims. The glossary entry on FEHA claims explains how complaints are filed with the Civil Rights Department.
Protected characteristics under FEHA
Employment discrimination can be based on any protected characteristic under FEHA, including:
- Race, color, ancestry, national origin
- Religion and creed
- Age (40 and over)
- Physical or mental disability
- Sex, gender, pregnancy
- Sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression
- Medical condition, genetic information
- Marital, military, or veteran status
For a short definition of the concept, see the glossary entry on workplace discrimination.
How to Verify Any Discrimination Lawyer You Find
- License: search the attorney on the State Bar of California's public licensee search for status and discipline history.
- Client side: ask directly whether the firm ever represents employers.
- Fees: get the contingency terms in writing, including how costs are handled.
- Experience: ask how often the firm handles discrimination cases like yours under FEHA.
- Reviews: look for patterns across platforms. LFECR's Google profile averaged 4.3 across roughly 700 reviews at the time of writing, with praise for helpful staff and some complaints about slow updates.
