Fighting Mistreatment Based on Membership in a Protected Class
Employment discrimination can be defined as a denial of employment, alteration of employment terms and conditions, or termination based upon the employee belonging to a protected class. A protected class or category is a term that defines a set of personal traits that are typically unchangeable and have no effect on an employee's work performance.
These classes are legally protected in a workplace by particular federal, California and local laws or statutes. Some of these protected classes include classes based on race, national origin, religion, gender, sex, sexual orientation, transgenderism, age, disability, marital status and pregnancy. If an employer punishes you for being a member of one or more protected classes, you may have a claim for employment discrimination.
