Prejudice Based on Ethnicity

It is illegal for any employer to hire, terminate, promote, or determine an employees wages or benefits based on their ethnic background. In addition, it is considered discriminatory practice to take any of those actions based on other employee or job applicant traits such as sex, religious affiliation, or disability.

California and Federal Law protect employees from being discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity. The purpose of these laws is to encourage equal rights and treatment among all employees and potential job candidates. Employees are protected from discrimination based on both race or color and national background (discrimination based on one's country of origin or family background).
