Sex and Gender Discrimination
Compensation for substantially similar work should be unbiased, regardless of gender. The California Equal Pay Act directs employers to ensure fair pay for their employees, regardless of gender. Our representation is committed to assisting individuals who have experienced unequal pay for comparable job roles. Despite legal obligations, some female employees confront wage discrimination, prompting legal intervention to secure fair compensation and address any retaliatory actions or other unfair practices by employers.
Proving Gender Discrimination
Gender discrimination at work can appear in diverse forms. Indications may involve job denials, being passed over for promotions, or experiencing unwelcome advances or harassment based on gender. Other signs include enduring a hostile work environment due to gender or gender transition, being denied maternity leave, or facing termination for asserting legal rights.
Gender discrimination cases demand thorough legal expertise due to their intricate nature. It is imperative to retain a proficient attorney who comprehends the intricacies of such cases and can adeptly maneuver through the legal system.
Los Angeles: California Family Rights Act Violations
Did you know that violations of the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) can be considered as gender discrimination? Under this Act, employers with five or more employees are required to provide up to four months of disability leave for pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions, as well as leave to care for a seriously ill family member. If you have been unfairly denied this leave in your work in Los Angeles, it may be worth considering a gender discrimination lawsuit.
