Anaheim Gender Discrimination Attorney

Gender discrimination at work can have a severe impact on those it affects, from ill-health caused by psychological stress, to loss of income caused by unequal pay, sick leave, or sudden termination of employment. If you believe your employer is discriminating against you on the grounds of your gender, contact our specialist Anaheim gender discrimination attorney for a confidential discussion about what legal action you can take.

What is Gender Discrimination?

Gender discrimination is an illegal act under both state and federal laws. It occurs when an employer treats a person unfairly on the grounds of their gender – for example, refusing to hire a person, firing them or paying them less than their co-workers purely on the basis of their gender. Californian state law was updated in July 2017 to include the protection of gender identity to include people who are transgender and who are at every stage of gender realignment. As a result, workplace gender discrimination law also requires employers to ensure they have policies on:

1. The provision of restrooms which provide for employees’ gender identities;
2. Dress or uniform standards that allow an employee to dress according to their gender identity;
3. Supporting employees who are undergoing gender realignment;
4. Ensuring employees’ preferred names and identities are respected;
5. Accepting documentation presented by employees and applicants who are – or have underwent – treatment for gender transition/realignment.

Gender rights in the workplace are also covered by federal law, by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964. This law requires equal treatment for employees of all genders regarding:

1. Employee compensation
2. Employee benefits
3. Access to training and apprenticeships
4. Transfers and promotions, layoffs and recalls
5. Hiring, firing and recruitment
6. Job advertising that must not discriminate between genders
7. Testing
8. Pay, retirement plans, disability leave

There is a statute of limitations of one year from the last episode of gender discrimination by an employer, so contact your Anaheim JML Law gender discrimination legal team to discuss your case without delay!
