YOUR RIGHT TO FAIR TREATMENT
One of the most essential rights you possess as an applicant in Orange County, a current employee or a former employee is your right to fair treatment. Numerous state and federal laws require employers to treat workers fairly. You are protected from discrimination and harassment for certain circumstances.
- Ancestry, race, color and national origin
- Sex, including pregnancy and childbirth
- Gender, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation
- Age (40 or older)
- Religion
- Marital and family status
- Mental or physical disability and medical condition, including AIDS and HIV
Your right to be treated fairly in the workplace also protects you from sexual harassment and any otherwise unwanted conduct that can affect your work performance and/or create an intimidating, offensive or hostile work environment. When you voice complaints about discrimination or engage in protected activities such as taking leave or voting, you are safeguarded against employer retaliation, which refers to any adverse employment action.
