Race and National Origin Discrimination

State and federal law prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race and national origin, but California law gives workers greater rights than federal law. 

Discrimination in employment based on race or national origin is unlawful under both state and federal law.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin by smaller employers (with 4 to 14 employees). Employers with 4 or more employees (and recruiters and referrers for a fee) are also prohibited from discriminating on the basis of citizenship status; discriminating in the employment eligibility verification process; and retaliating under IRCA.
