Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as workplace discrimination under California law?
FEHA bars employers from treating workers differently based on protected traits such as race, sex, age, disability, or pregnancy. It also covers harassment and retaliation. Even a neutral policy can be unlawful if it has a disparate impact on a protected group.
How long do I have to file a discrimination complaint in Fresno?
You generally have three years to file a FEHA complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. After the agency issues a right-to-sue notice, a further deadline applies. Acting quickly protects evidence and your legal options.
Will I have to go to court in Fresno County?
Many employment claims settle through mediation or agency review before trial. If a case does proceed, it is filed at the Fresno County Superior Court downtown. Your attorney can explain which steps your specific claim is likely to involve.
