Do You Need to Speak with an Orange County Discrimination Lawyer?
In Orange County, it is against the law to discriminate based on gender or gender identity, national origin, sexual orientation, when it comes to employment terms and pay.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the California Equal Pay Act provide strong protections against unfair discrimination in the workplace. Unfortunately, many forms of sex discrimination still occur, leading to wage disparities and sexual harassment.
Treating employees differently for sex specific reasons is a violation of California law under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and federal law under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
If you have experienced gender-based discrimination, it is crucial to take action quickly, as there are specific time limits for filing claims. Don’t delay in seeking justice for your rights. The Law Office of Fahim Rahman is here to help.

Sex and Gender Discrimination
Impartial pay for equivalent work is crucial, irrespective of gender. The California Equal Pay Act obligates employers to compensate their employees fairly, without regard to gender.
Our firm represents clients who have been treated unfairly and received unequal pay while performing the same job duties as their colleagues of the opposite gender. Despite legal requirements prohibiting such practices, certain female employees may encounter a hostile work environment, offensive comments, and wage discrimination, necessitating legal intervention to secure the fair compensation they rightfully deserve and address any retaliatory actions or other unfair practices by employers.
Proving Gender Discrimination
Workplace gender discrimination can manifest in various ways. Signs may include job denials, being overlooked for promotions, and facing unwelcome sexual advances or harassment based on gender. Other indicators involve enduring a hostile work environment due to gender or gender transition, being denied maternity leave, subject to gender specific dress codes, or faced with dismissal for asserting the legal rights of a protected class.
Bringing a workplace discrimination case forward can be complicated and intimidating, especially when that case is brought against an employer. You need a discrimination attorney on your side who is highly-skilled in employment law, comprehends the intricacies of these cases, and has the experience to adeptly maneuver your case through the complex legal system.
Family Rights Act Violations in Orange County
Did you know that violating the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) could also be considered gender discrimination? Under this Act, employers with five or more employees are required to give 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 Orange County, it might be worth considering a gender discrimination lawsuit.
