NATIONAL
ORIGIN DISCRIMINATION
If you believe you are victim of harassment or discrimination
on basis of national origin, contact our San Diego Employment
and National Origin Discrimination Attorney today for a fee
consultation. My firm represents employees who experienced
harassment or discrimination in work place on account of national
origin and ancestry.
It is
illegal for your employer to discriminate against you on account
of your national origin. Title VII & FEHA prohibit employment
discrimination on the basis of your national origin. FEHA
also prohibits discrimination on the basis of your ancestry
which usually means the same thing.
National
Origin - National origin means the country where you were
was born, or, more broadly, the country from which your ancestors
came. EEOC defines National origin as the birthplace of individuals
or their ancestors, as well as display of the physical, cultural,
or linguistic characteristics of a particular national group.
Our San Diego Employment and National Origin discrimination
Attorney can explain your rights in work place.
“English-only”
policies – If your employer requires you to speak English
at all times on the job, this may constitute discrimination
based on national origin. However, your employer may require
you to speak English on the job where such a request is (i)
justified by business necessity and (ii) the employees have
adequate notice of the restriction.
Business
necessity - An English only rule is proper where necessary
to safe and efficient operation of the business and no alternative
practice will accomplish the business purpose equally as well
with less discriminatory impact.
Accent
- Accent and national origin could be inextricably intertwined.
Nonetheless, an adverse employment decision may be based on
an individual’s accent if it materially interferes with
his or her job performance.
Harassment
- your employer may not make epithets, slurs, or jokes directed
towards your national origin or ancestry. National Origin
Harassment is no joke. Call our San Diego Employment and National
Origin Harassment Attorney to know more about your rights
in work place.
