Title VII Lawyer in Los Angeles
|
Federal law
protections against employment discrimination are set forth generally
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). Title
VII prohibits employers from discriminating against covered employees
because of that employee's race, color, religion, sex or national origin. |
|
Covered Employees
The provisions of Title VII only apply to
employers who employee 15 or more employees. Therefore, if you
work for a smaller employer, you would not be entitled to the protections
provided by Title VII. Please note, however, that California's Fair
Employment and Housing Act prohibits the same type of discrimination
as Title VII, and
applies to employers who only employee 5 or more employees (For sexual
harassment claims, FEHA applies to employers who only employ one or more
employees!)

Not Used Often in California
Unlike many other states, California
provides it own statutory protection to employees that in most cases
exceeds the protection provided by Title VII and other federal
statutes. That is why attorneys in California who represent
employees usually file discrimination claims under the California
Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), rather than Title VII. calendar year.
