Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on General Employment
What types of workplace harassment are illegal?
Workplace harassment can take many forms, including sexual harassment, offensive comments or actions based on race, gender, age, disability, or religion. Any behavior that creates a hostile work environment or results in adverse job actions is unlawful.
How do I know if I’ve been discriminated against at work?
Discrimination occurs when you are treated unfairly due to characteristics like race, gender, age, pregnancy, disability, or religion. If you’ve experienced negative actions such as being fired, demoted, or denied opportunities because of these factors, you may have a valid claim.
What is workplace retaliation?
Retaliation happens when your employer punishes you for reporting discrimination, harassment, or other illegal activities. This could include being fired, demoted, or facing negative changes in your job duties.
Can I be fired for reporting harassment or discrimination?
No, it is illegal for your employer to fire you or take adverse actions against you for reporting harassment, discrimination, or other workplace misconduct. If this happens, it may be grounds for a retaliation claim.
What should I do if I believe I am facing harassment or discrimination at work?
Document everything and report the behavior to your HR department or supervisor. If your concerns are not addressed or you face retaliation, contact an employment lawyer to explore your legal options.
What laws protect me from harassment, discrimination, and retaliation?
Federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protect you from harassment and discrimination. California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) also provides strong protections for employees.
How long do I have to file a harassment, discrimination, or retaliation claim?
There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitations, for filing these claims. In California, for most discrimination and retaliation cases, you generally have one year from the incident to file with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). It’s best to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What can I expect from the legal process if I file a claim?
After filing a claim, your attorney will investigate the facts, gather evidence, and negotiate with your employer. If a resolution cannot be reached through settlement, your case may go to court where we will advocate on your behalf.
What compensation can I recover in a harassment, discrimination, or retaliation case?
You may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, legal fees, and sometimes punitive damages if your employer’s actions were particularly harmful.
How can Smith Law help me with my case?
At Smith Law, we provide compassionate, expert representation for employees facing harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. We guide you through every step, from filing your claim to negotiating or litigating on your behalf, all with no upfront fees—you only pay when we win your case.
