Riverside is a beautiful place to live and work. However, your life can be compromised by a toxic work environment.
Under the California Fair and Housing Act (DFEH), it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against employees because of who they are.

What Is Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when a job applicant or employee receives less favorable treatment due to a particular trait they have. For example, an employee can be discriminated against because of their gender identity, age, color, pregnancy, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, national origin, medical condition, and more.
Workplace discrimination can happen to anyone, and it takes many forms, including the following:
- Implementing a company policy that unreasonably affects employees with a specific protected characteristic.
- Demoting, firing, or refusing to hire an employee because of their gender, medical condition, or sexual orientation.
- Allowing workers to be consistently harassed at the workplace.
- Refusing to accommodate pregnancy, religious, culture, or disability-related needs of a certain group of workers.
