FAQ
Employers covered under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 include organizations hiring Native Americans on or near a reservation, religious organizations employing persons of a specific religion, and labor unions having 15 or more members or employees.
Churches, synagogues, private clubs, and specific private organizations are exempt due to their adherence to membership requirements.
Employers of five or more are subject to the FEHA's prohibition against employment discrimination. Harassment is prohibited in all workplaces, even those with only one employee or independent contractor on staff. “Employer” does not include the federal government or a non-profit religious association or corporation.
It provides that a religious corporation, association, educational institution, or society is exempt from the provisions of Title VII that prohibit discrimination based on religion in the workplace.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act ("Title VII") This encompasses such claims as severe and pervasive hostile work environments, retaliation for engaging in protected activities and such varied factual scenarios such as pregnancy discrimination and sexual harassment.
Complaints under state law must be filed within 180 days of the date you became aware you were being discriminated against or the date of the alleged illegal act. You may file a complaint with the Commission by calling (804) 225-2292, visiting the office at 900 E.
The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.
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.
