A California law, FEHA prohibits harassment and discrimination in a work environment due to age, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, ethnicity, race, religion, and other conditions. You may bring a FEHA action against a coworker for discrimination in the workplace. Any violation of FEHA can result in severe penalties to any employer who ignores complaints of discrimination and harassment.

It is against the law for any employer to discriminate against an individual due to medical conditions. Employers are to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with a medical condition unless it results in an undue hardship. Employees have the right to file medical discrimination claims if they believe they experienced unlawful discrimination.
