Marriage, much like one’s religious affiliation or skin color, are sacred rights within the workplace. Who, why or when someone joined with another in matrimony is, quite frankly, nobody’s business. Unfortunately, many Riverside marital status discrimination cases we undertake involve men and women being terminated or denied rightfully owed bonuses or wages because they failed to disclose marital status or discuss intricacies surround their marriage.
Harassed, demoted, wrongfully terminated or retaliated against because you’re married and simply don’t bring personal matters to work? Compensation may be recoverable as The Rager Law Firm will look at your marital status discrimination suit without cost or obligation.
Under California law, an employer cannot refuse to hire individuals based of marital status. This includes same-sex couples, single folks or widowers. Also, employers cannot ask marital specific questions during an interview process or refuse to hire you based on your refusal to answer.
The Rager Law Firm evaluates every claim, fighting aggressively to recover damages while holding employers accountable. Many times, we’re able to get employers to change their practices, even remove folks who cause marital discrimination.
So, what constitutes marital status discrimination in California?
Many more situations where our Riverside marital status discrimination attorney was hired to defend wrongfully terminated married folks exist. Since no two situations are similar, we’ll look at your case and determine what meritorious case you may have.
California’s own workplace enforcement tool, The Fair Employment and Housing Act, protects marital statuses and those who wish to keep relationship statuses private. The Act is specific in available remedies available to employees when their workplace, or potential job, knowingly violates the act.
The Rager Law Firm will work hard to recover:
How much we can recover is determined by numerous factors regardless if we settle in or outside of court. Federal laws may also apply to your case, meaning more damages and punishment may be within reach.
Often overlooked, marital discrimination is serious in California. Because our firm features an experienced Riverside marital status discrimination lawyer prepared to tackle employer wrongdoing, it’s logical to call The Rager Law Firm so your case can be professionally evaluated.
The pain and humiliation often felt by employees force them into depression. If all you wanted to do was work and support your family, and employer discrimination was based on marital status, let our law firm look over your case, free of charge.
