California Fair Employment and Housing Act

But we have housing providers and employers.

You know, they're covered under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, you know, and also the Federal Fair Housing Act.

You know, there you have to, that's a whole different inquiry.

You know, residential housing is a completely different inquiry.

about a service animal at a real estate open house.

There were a lot of things being asserted there.

The Disabled Persons Act, the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Fair Housing Act.

This Fair Housing Act does have some protections for that.

Just wanted to pop in and confirm that Jesse was definitely right here.

Not sure what Vicky's going on about, but the official complaint includes nine separate claims, four of which are against her husband and the church, which are sexual harassment under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, because even though Mitchell was the one allegedly doing the harassing, the complaint does note that under California law, when a supervisor harasses an employee, the employer is liable, too.

And then there is defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and injunctive relief.

So again, those are for Mitchell and the church.

Yeah, so they also allege violations of various laws imposed by states and the District of Columbia.

For example, an update to California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, quote, forbids the use of an automated decision system that produces disparate impact discrimination on the basis of disability or sex, including pregnancy, the lawsuit said.

Yeah.

And then I think the last thing that's of interest here to me is that this is not a class action lawsuit because the employment contracts that people sign prohibit class action lawsuits.

Exactly.

But we also, for disability claims, we also work with something called the Fair Employment and Housing Act, or you just call it FIHA for short, keep it simple.

One of our favorite laws to work with for disability discrimination cases is actually called, is actually FIHA.

So there are multiple laws, Marcos, that could potentially apply to your situation.

Well, so for a lot of these laws, they operate for both state and, sorry, government and private employers.

And so the WARN Act can apply to entities that are, for example, connected to the federal government, but they operate as private.

The Fair Employment and Housing Act that Kelly mentioned earlier is going to apply to both entities.

Some laws apply differently to public entities.

No, I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say that generally.

'Cause, you know, the operative law here is the Fair Employment and Housing Act in California.

We, we call it FEHA.

Mm-hmm.
