If you experience discrimination at work in California, it’s important to document the discrimination, report it to your employer or HR department, and seek support from friends or family. You may also want to consider contacting a lawyer to protect your rights and pursue compensation for damages.
In California, you have three years from the date of the discrimination to file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). However, it’s recommended to take action as soon as possible to protect your rights and ensure the best outcome for your case.

Disparate treatment discrimination occurs when an employer intentionally treats an employee or group of employees differently based on their protected characteristics, while disparate impact discrimination occurs when an employer’s policies or practices have an adverse impact on a protected group, even if there is no intent to discriminate.
The amount of compensation you can receive for a discrimination claim in California will depend on the specific circumstances of your case, including the severity of the discrimination and the damages you suffered.
