Los Angeles National Origin Discrimination Lawyer

Under the law, national origin discrimination in employment involves treating employees and applicants unfairly because they come from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they have an ethnic background.

It also involves treating people unfairly because they are married or associated with a person of certain national origin or ethnic background.

Our Los Angeles national origin discrimination lawyer specializes in employment cases involving employees and workers who have been discriminated and unfairly treated because of his/her national origin. We also assist employers in dealing with discrimination cases in the workplace, especially in implementing anti-discrimination policies.

Discrimination and unfair treatment of an employee on the basis of his/her race is prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the state Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which applies not only to employees but to job applicants as well.

Under the law, the following actions against any person based on his/her national origin or ethnicity are prohibited:

• Terminating an employee because of race
• Refusing to hire
• Paying an employee less or giving them fewer benefits
• Failure to provide benefits
• Race misclassification based on race
