Gender Discrimination Attorney

Gender Discrimination Is Immoral, and It’s Illegal. Our Lawyers Demand Justice for Victims of Discrimination.

California is known as the most progressive state in the country, but not every employer embodies this reputation. Gender discrimination remains a clear and present hazard to employees who want only to be judged on their merits.

If you believe gender-related discrimination was a factor in the hiring process, promotion decisions, your termination, or other aspects of your employment, we want to help. Our firm holds discriminatory parties accountable for the financial and non-economic harm their discrimination causes, and our case results prove that we’re a force in the employment law space.

State and Federal Law Could Not Be Clearer: Gender Discrimination Is Against the Law

For most, the unethical, immoral nature of gender-based discrimination is deterrent enough. Most employers treat people fairly, judging them on their merits and their merits alone, but not every employer is so honest or rational.

There are ample federal protections that prohibit various forms of gender discrimination in the workplace, including but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.

California’s state-level statutes provide further protection, and these protective statutes include:

• The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
• The California Equal Pay Act
• California Family Rights Act (CFRA)
• Senate Bill 973 (related to pay data reporting)

These federal legal protections should deter discrimination. Yet, the ARCH Legal PC team sees time and again that even with basic decency and legal statutes on employees’ side, gender discrimination continues to occur.

Our California employment law attorneys understand both these state and federal statutes, and we demand their enforcement when instances of gender discrimination affect our clients.

Forms of Gender-Related Discrimination We See Far Too Often

One definition of gender is “characteristics of women, men, girls, and boys…[which] includes norms, behaviors and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other.” If you believe that your gender or perceived gender has played a role in any decision or practice related to your work, you may be the victim of discrimination.

Some common examples of gender-based discrimination include:

• Hiring or not hiring someone based on gender or characteristics
• Promoting or not promoting someone based on gender or gender characteristics
• Making inappropriate or harassing comments related to someone’s gender or gender characteristics
• Terminating an employee based on their gender or gender characteristics (including any changes related to their gender)
• Underpaying an employee based on gender
• Not providing maternity or paternity leave
• Seemingly retaliating against an employee who becomes pregnant or takes advantage of their paternity or maternity leave
• Retaliating against someone who files a gender-related complaint

These are only a few of the many ways in which your gender could be used against you in the workplace. Sexual orientation discrimination is another type of mistreatment that causes immense harm, and we help victims of sex-based discrimination, too.

If you feel you’ve been treated unfairly based on any characteristic, including gender-related characteristics, ARCH Legal PC should be your next call.
