FAQ
1. Quick and Low-Stress. In our experience, most employers and employees prefer to settle discrimination cases out of court instead of going to trial. This is because settlement negotiations are usually faster and less stressful than litigation.
If you sue your employer, it won't be enough for you to prove that your employer made the wrong decision, or even that your employer was a no-goodnik. If you don't have a valid legal claim against your employer, then you will ultimately lose your case. One big reason to think twice before you sue.
There are certain benefits when you decide to file a discrimination lawsuit. It will not only benefit you, but your co-workers as well because it will likely make your workplace safer by creating a better environment for all. When you sue, you can also obtain a legal remedy for the discrimination you have faced.
For discrimination complaints related to housing, employment, or business establishments, you may contact the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) at 800-884-1684 (voice), 800-700-2320 (TTY). You may also visit the DFEH page for additional information.
The chances of winning your discrimination case can vary dramatically depending on the particular circumstances you face. When a lot of evidence has accumulated against your employer, such as emails and history of discriminatory remarks in front of multiple witnesses, your chances of winning a lawsuit are higher.
The following would be considered illegal discrimination if there is evidence that the decision was made based on a protected characteristic: Sexual Harassment. Refusal to Provide Services. Unfair Lending Practices. Misrepresenting the Availability of Housing. Refusal to Allow “Reasonable Modifications” Refusing Rental.
Report discrimination to a local Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). If the discrimination breaks both a state and federal law, the FEPA will also send your complaint to the EEOC. Use the EEOC's directory of field offices to find the FEPA near you.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
Evidence in a discrimination case in California typically includes: emails, text messages, recordings, disciplinary forms, termination documents, or a copy of your employment contract if one exists. If you're like most Californians, you spend an inordinate amount of time at work.
