Do not do anything until you have consulted an attorney. California law requires that you first give your employer a chance to resolve the problem. Your attorney will probably assist you in submitting a written grievance to the appropriate supervisor or HR person at your workplace. If your employer does not resolve the problem, then your attorney will likely assist you in submitting a complaint to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (and/or possibly the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). Certain time limits apply. For example, you are generally required to file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing within one year of the last incident. Your attorney will help you explore your various legal options, including directly negotiating settlement, bringing a lawsuit, initiating arbitration or mediation, etc.
