Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Rights of the Interviewee

It is not possible to answer your question without more facts. There are lawful reasons for denying a job to an applicant and unlawful ones. Why do you think you were denied the job? If the real reason you were not hired was a reason that is prohibited by law, and you have evidence to prove it, there are steps to take to challenge the decision. But if the school district hired someone more qualified, they did not have to give the position to you.

If you are a classified employee, you should discuss your concerns with your union representative to get some feedback from how the union views your situation. If you think you are being discriminated against, meet with an experienced employment law attorney to review the evidence you have in support of your suspicions.
