Sexual Orientation Discrimination

California Employment Laws: Sexual Orientation

California is a leader in civil rights legislation. California’s employment laws provide substantial protection to workers throughout California. One of the many important provisions in California law is the protection of workers from sexual orientation discrimination.

Employers in California must not discriminate against gay, lesbian or bisexual employees. In addition, recent legislation passed in California prohibits discrimination against transgender employees.

Termination and discharge from employment are not the only actions prohibited under California law. Actionable discriminatory behavior by an employer can include harassment, failure to promote, relocation or other adverse employment actions.
