The Many Forms of Workplace Discrimination
No employee in Bakersfield should have to be discriminated against. The city of Bakersfield constantly works to make sure that its employees are not discriminated against for falling under a certain class. The classes include race, color, age, sex, national origin, or disability. Just because they belong to any of these mentioned classes, the employer cannot violate labor laws. This means that an employer must provide the employee benefits or must treat the employee fairly at work.
Our top-rated employment attorneys in Bakersfield understand the stressful situation that you could be in in the event that your employer or your coworkers discriminate against you. There are several different ways you could be discriminated against, and it takes a highly-rated lawyer to look into your circumstances and build a strong claim for you to prove that discrimination took place. There are several laws that protect employees in Bakersfield. For example, this may include:

Disability Discrimination
Disability discrimination occurs when those with disabilities are treated unfairly at work because of their disability. Not only does this supply at work, but at other programs as well such as housing and education.

For example, if an employee is injured and then considered temporarily or permanently disabled, and requires accommodations, such as a standing desk, to continue to do their work properly, an employer cannot deny the employee the right to accommodations.
- If an employer fires an employee because they have now been considered temporarily or permanently disabled, workplace discrimination has occurred.
