California Fair Employment and Housing Act
We can help you with all of your policy matters, including the adoption of forms and employment practices. You may call us before you make important decisions so that you can make the best decision and avoid liability. In California, employers with more than five employees must comply with the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which prohibits discrimination in hiring and firing, harassment, or retaliation. FEHA requires employers to provide leave for employees due to pregnancy or childbirth, and to provide family and medical leave rights for employers with 50 or more employees. The Act also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees or job applicants with disabilities. Under FEHA, employees can sue for reinstatement or hiring, back pay, emotional distress damages, attorney fees and court costs, and punitive damages.
