Your marriage is incredibly important to you and your spouse but, being perfectly honest, absolutely nothing to do with your employer. The only reason why your marital status is important in the workplace is when your employer is learning that they cannot discriminate against you because of it. For most, this realization is obvious and occurs to them through common sense, as a reasonable person would never consider that marital status discrimination is acceptable. For some, it requires an employee to act against them, ensuring they do not commit this breach of employment law in the future.
If you are one of the Torrance employees who is discriminated against, harassed, or otherwise unfairly treated in the workplace because of your marital status, whether you are male or female, an experienced attorney from The Rager Law Firm could provide the legal representation, guidance, and support you require.
Under California law, employers are not permitted to take marital status into consideration while hiring employees or considering pay increases or promotions. The protection offered by this legislation extends to single people, widowers, and married employees, including those in same-sex marriages. Not only are employers prohibited from making employment-related decisions based on marital status, it is unlawful for any questions relating to your marital status to be asked during an interview.

Through employing the extensive legal expertise we have garnered over decades of experience, we will work tirelessly to ensure your employer puts an end to these discriminatory practices, and to secure the compensation and damages you are entitled to.
