No, that would be a violation of both, state and federal law. You can start with filing a complaint with your local Dept. Of Fair Employment and Housing. They will investigate and prosecute any proved violation or give you clearance (a right to sue letter) to go after the employer privately.

If you would like to discuss further feel free to contact me.
