Employment and Wage Discrimination in California
Discrimination may be a factor that comes to light in any
employment law matter, including in
wage and hour claims, hiring, firing,
severance agreements,
holiday pay,
employee retirement, and much more. If you are a California employee and have questions about whether you may have been unlawfully discriminated against, and employment law attorney at the R. Rex Parris Law Firm can meet with you to discuss your unique situation, your rights, and your legal options.

Under California law, employees are protected from unjust discrimination due to their age, race, disability, ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, or sexual orientation. Following are some potential examples of discrimination in the workplace:
- Assigning certain tasks to employees based upon gender, race, etc.
- Failing to promote a qualified employee due to his or her age.
- Paying one employee less than another employee in the same or similar position because of that employee’s race.
- Refusing to hire employees based upon a disability, age, or gender.
- Wrongfully terminating an employee after finding out about his or her religious beliefs.
- Terminating an employee after finding out about a medical condition or disability.
- Forcing an employee into early retirement based upon his or her age.
- Taking any action against an employee based on these factors rather than his or her actual job performance or abilities.
