California employees: "at-will" employment does not give your employer unlimited authority to fire you.

Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers cannot terminate workers based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, pregnancy, gender identity, age (40+), disability, sexual orientation, medical condition, marital status, or military/veteran status.

Pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is illegal under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which applies to employers with five or more employees—much lower than the federal threshold of 15. California also offers up to four months of Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) and an additional 12 weeks of CFRA baby-bonding leave after PDL ends.

CA Civil Rights Dept secured $15M from Snap Inc. for sex discrimination via administrative enforcement—no class action needed. State investigates using subpoena power, addresses systemic discrimination without class certification barriers. FEHA exceeds federal law: 5+ employee threshold, gender identity coverage, 3-year limitations. File with CRD within 3 years. Document everything: incident notes, comparative evidence, emails. #EmploymentLaw #FEHA #WorkersRights #CaliforniaLaw
