Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a discrimination claim in South San Francisco?
Under California FEHA, you must file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) within three years of the discriminatory act. For federal claims under Title VII, the deadline is 300 days. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim.
Can I be fired for no reason in California?
California is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason that is not illegal. However, you cannot be fired based on protected characteristics like race, gender, age, or disability, or for engaging in protected activities like reporting safety violations.
What types of damages can I recover in a California employment lawsuit?
You may recover lost wages, future lost earnings, emotional distress damages, and attorney fees. In some cases, punitive damages are available if the employer acted with malice or fraud. California also allows for waiting time penalties if final wages are not paid promptly.
