Employees in California are protected by an extensive and complex web of state and federal employment laws. Most of these laws are designed to prevent employers from treating employees unfairly. Employment laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of a number of protected characteristics including race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, disability and age. Employment laws also prohibit employers from retaliating against employees for exercising their rights.
