Southern California's Gender Discrimination Attorneys
Gender or sex discrimination usually has more to do with power than with sex. Harassing or bullying behavior is a way to establish power over another person. In California, this kind of behavior is illegal in the workplace.
If you are a victim of employment gender discrimination, call the Orange County law firm of Spray Gould & Bowers LLP for a free and confidential case evaluation. You may be entitled to compensation, policy changes and other remedies under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
Employment gender discrimination can take many forms:
- Having a “glass ceiling”, or limiting opportunities for female workers to advance
- Having different expectations for male workers and female workers
- Stereotyping based on gender.
- Restricting your job activities or opportunities because you are pregnant, even though there is no medical reason to do so.
- Discriminating against you because you are the primary care giver for a child or a family member.
- Making unwanted sexual advances or creating a hostile work environment for women (known as sexual harassment).
Compensation for victims of employment gender discrimination
Compensation in employment gender discrimination cases may include back pay, front pay, policy changes, reasonable accommodation, actual damages, damages for emotional distress and punitive damages. There is no limit on the amount of emotional distress damages or punitive damages in gender discrimination cases.
