San Francisco Discrimination Law Firm
No employee should be subject to age bias, racial bias, or other intolerance in the workplace. Civil rights laws and equal employment opportunity laws establish the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees regarding the hiring, termination, and treatment of employees based on factors such as religion, race, age, sex, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, or medical condition. Both employees and potential applications are protected by these state and federal laws.
Our law firm assists employers who need legal guidance concerning employee handbooks and contracts, and hiring and termination of employees, as well as employees themselves who feel they have been wrongfully terminated, mistreated, or discriminated against based on certain factors. It is our goal to provide clients with a high level of insight achieved through working with parties on both sides of these disputes. We provide litigation representation as well as mediation services.
Discrimination Against Pregnant Women
California and Federal law protect pregnant women or women who plan to become pregnant. Specifically, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a woman because of anything medically related to pregnancy. California also has laws in place that protect a woman’s right to breastfeed in any public or private location, with limited exceptions.
