The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
Race discrimination laws in California prohibit employers from discriminating against any employee because of the employee’s race or ethnicity. One of the guiding legal principles of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is to prohibit California employers from discriminating against an individual based on race or ethnicity.
FEHA requires employers that have at least five employees to comply with the California civil rights law. The five-employee minimum is a more restrictive requirement than what is established by the Civil rights Act of 1964, which sets the minimum number of employees at 15.
