FAQ

A simplified description of the legal definition of discrimination is when a person is treated disfavourably or when a person's dignity is violated.

If you are someone with a protected characteristic, but you are treated less favourably because of that characteristic, this amounts to direct discrimination. An example of this would be a situation in which an employee wasn't offered a job or promotion because they're a woman.

Direct discrimination - treating someone with a protected characteristic less favourably than others. indirect discrimination - putting rules or arrangements in place that apply to everyone, but that put someone with a protected characteristic at an unfair disadvantage.

Many cases of intentional discrimination are not proven by a single type of evidence. Rather, many different kinds of evidence-direct and circumstantial, statistical and anecdotal-are relevant to the showing of intent and should be assessed on a cumulative basis.

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.

If it has been found to have been on a specified ground, then unfairness will be presumed. If on an unspecified ground, unfairness will have to be established by the complainant. The test of unfairness focuses primarily on the impact of the discrimination on the complainant and others in his or her situation”.

To establish prima facie discrimination (discrimination on its face) under the Code, a claimant must show that: they have a characteristic protected from discrimination. they have experienced an adverse impact within a social area protected. by the Code, and the protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact.

Direct evidence. Direct evidence often involves a statement from a decision-maker that expresses a discriminatory motive. Direct evidence can also include express or admitted classifications, in which a recipient explicitly distributes benefits or burdens based on race, color, or national origin.

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.
