Unlawful Termination Protections Under FEHA
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employers from terminating employees based on their sexual orientation, gender, race, color, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, religious creed, national origin, marital status, pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, and ancestry. According to Government Code § 12940(a), it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee because of any of these protected characteristics.

Unlawful Firing Due to Physical Disability
Employers are prohibited from terminating employees because of a physical disability. However, this does not apply if the employee, due to their disability, cannot perform their essential job duties even with reasonable accommodations, or if performing these duties would endanger their health or safety, or that of others, even with such accommodations. FEHA mandates that employers provide reasonable accommodations and engage in a good faith interactive process to find suitable accommodations.

EMPLOYMENT LAW


 

For example, if a cashier injures their hip and requires a stool or light duty to perform their job, the employer cannot terminate them solely based on their disability unless no reasonable accommodation can be made. If the employer fires the employee without exploring feasible accommodations, it could be an unlawful termination. Reasonable accommodations may include time off, special equipment, modified schedules, or light duty. Each case is evaluated individually. If you believe you have been unlawfully terminated due to a physical disability, please contact our office.

Unlawful Firing Due to Race
Terminating an employee based on race is illegal under Government Code § 12940(a). This protection extends to individuals of all races, including Whites, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians, as established in Griggs v. Duke Power Co. (1971). If you were terminated because of your race, reach out to our office for assistance.

Unlawful Firing Due to Sexual Orientation
FEHA also prohibits the termination of employees based on their sexual orientation, including heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. For example, if an employee is terminated after two years when their employer learns they are homosexual, and the employer subsequently hires a non-homosexual individual with similar qualifications for the same position, it may indicate unlawful termination based on sexual orientation. If this has happened to you, contact our office for legal support.
