FEHA Lawyer in Los Angeles - California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
"I wish we
lived in a society where laws were not necessary to protect
employees from discrimination. In my law practice, however, I have
seen beyond any shadow of a doubt that these laws are absolutely
necessary."
--- James W. Johnston, Esq.

| The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides protection
from harassment or discrimination in employment because of: Age (40 and over),
Ancestry, Color, Religious Creed, Denial of Family and Medical Care Leave,
Disability (mental and physical) including HIV and AIDS, Marital Status, Medical
Condition (cancer and genetic characteristics), National Origin, Race, Religion,
Sex, and Sexual Orientation. |

Provides Greater Protection Than Federal Law
Federal laws addressing discrimination in the workplace primarily are set forth
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). California's
FEHA, however, provides greater protection for employees than that provided by
Title VII. For example, in addition to prohibiting the types of
discrimination described in Title VII, FEHA additionally prohibits
discrimination on the basis of marital status. Furthermore, Title VII only
applies to employers who employ 15 or more employees, while FEHA generally
applies to employers with only 5 or more employees. (Except for sexual
harassment which FEHA prohibits if the employer employees one or more employees.
