Do you believe you were discriminated against because of your age, race, or gender? Federal and state laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on any of these characteristics.

- California Fair Employment and Housing Act
- Equal Pay Act of 1963
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
- Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978

It can sometimes be hard for employees to recognize discrimination. Anti-discrimination laws in California cover a wide range of legal issues and cases.
Examples of age, race, and gender discrimination include:
- Failing to hire or promote members of these groups
- Terminating members due to their age, race, or gender
- Not paying members of these groups the same wages as other employees

Definitions of Workplace Discrimination
The law clearly outlines elements of age, race, and gender discrimination. It can be difficult to prove discrimination occurred in some cases.
Therefore, it is important that you keep records and documents detailing the behavior and acts. The more evidence you have, the stronger you case becomes.
The definitions of workplace discrimination are as follows:
Age Discrimination
If you have been shut out from a promotion or replaced by a younger, less experienced employee, you may be the victim of age discrimination.
Likewise, employers who refuse to hire an older employee in favor of younger workers may be violating laws prohibiting age discrimination.
Race Discrimination
If you have faced unfair treatment because of physical characteristics, language, culture, or ancestry, you may be the victim of racial discrimination.
Certain questions on an application can reveal bias, as well as refusing to promote someone because of their race.
Gender Discrimination
If you are a woman who was paid less for performing the same tasks as men, you could be a victim of gender discrimination.
Gender discrimination also includes being passed over for positions or advancement opportunities provided to male co-workers, despite equivalent credentials.
Additionally, sexual harassment is a form of sex and gender discrimination. Men and women can experience gender discrimination, though it is more common with female employees.
