The California Fair Employment and Housing Act, also known as FEHA, protects employees and tenants from discrimination based on race, religion, gender, age (40 or over), disability, medical condition, national origin, sexual orientation, and marital status. In order to prove a California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) violation, an employee must show that the employee was subjected to an adverse employment action based on race, religion, gender, age (40 or over), disability, medical condition, national origin, sexual orientation, and marital status. Adverse employment actions generally include termination of employment, reduction in hours, reduction in pay, demotion, or a failure to hire. In order to sue under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) you must obtain a Right-to-Sue letter from the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing ("DFEH").
