Legal Question in Employment Law in California
sexual favortism in the workplace
A friend of mine has been overlooked for a promotion because a co-worker of his is sleeping with the boss. Due to the sexual relationship, the co-worker has been promoted instead. Is there any recourse he can take against his employer and these unfair business practices?

Re: sexual favortism in the workplace
Tell your friend to call me directly. That is discriminatory and caselaw provides him a cause of action. He must meet strict deadlines to file with the DFEH.
Re: sexual favortism in the workplace
He has a potential claim, based upon the discrimination statutes. He needs to promptly document the facts and begin the claim filing process with the employer and government agencies [DFEH], but needs good legal advice on how to do so most effectively. Have him contact me if interested in discussing the facts and representation. This has been a specialty area of mine for many years.
