Frequently Asked Questions

What types of workplace harassment does California law protect against?

California law covers harassment based on protected categories such as sex, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, age, and more. Both physical and verbal conduct—if severe or pervasive—may qualify as unlawful harassment in the workplace.

Do I need to report harassment to my employer before filing a claim?

In most cases, you should first report the harassment to your employer or HR department following their internal procedures, unless you fear retaliation or believe it would be futile. Proper documentation of your complaint can strengthen your case later.

How long do I have to bring a workplace harassment claim in Los Angeles?

The time limit to file a harassment complaint with California’s Civil Rights Department (CRD, formerly DFEH) is generally three years from the last act of harassment. It’s important to start as soon as possible to preserve evidence and options.

Can I sue my employer directly for work harassment?

While most California workplace harassment claims start with a filing to the CRD, some situations allow for a lawsuit once you’ve received a Right-to-Sue notice. This process ensures state agencies have an opportunity to investigate before court action.

What should I do if I’m worried about employer retaliation?

Retaliating against employees who report harassment is illegal in California. If you experience any negative treatment after raising concerns—like demotion, termination, or undesirable shifts—you may have additional protections and claims under state law.
