Those who have never experienced workplace discrimination have no idea how small and helpless it can make them feel. They have no idea how frustrating it is to be stuck with nowhere to turn or to have an employer not take the situation seriously. At PLBH, we recognize the importance of employment discrimination and can support you in battling it.

In the event that arbitration or mediation are involved, we will be there to defend your rights. We may decide to take your case to court. If that’s the case, you can count on us to work tirelessly to settle your case as quickly and favorably as we can.
Workplace Discrimination Can Take Many Different Forms
According to California law, discrimination occurs when a person is treated differently than another employee who is equally qualified for a job for the following reasons:
- Their sexual preference
- The country they come from
- Their ethnicity
- A disability
- Being 50 years or older
- Their religion
- Their gender identity and expression
- Pregnancy
- Their race
Determining what “different treatment” is, given that every choice made about the terms and circumstances of work is covered by the law, is the second problem that many people encounter. A work cannot be treated differently in recruiting and firing, reclassifications and promotions, increasing and dispersing wage increases and benefits, distributing responsibilities and projects, and making plans for a vacation.
Remember that workplace discrimination does not always include overt bias towards a particular group. Even seemingly neutral policies can be discriminatory if they hurt members of particular groups.
