Asking for a disability or religious accommodation is protected activity.
LEAVE IS PROTECTED
California law prohibits retaliation for requesting or taking protected leave.
Understanding your rights
California’s harassment, discrimination and family leave laws prohibit employers from retaliating against employees for engaging in protected activity. Retaliation can take many forms beyond termination — and it can be unlawful even when the original complaint is not ultimately proven, depending on the law involved.
Protected activity can include
- Reporting or opposing sexual harassment
- Reporting or opposing discrimination
- Requesting a disability or religious accommodation
- Requesting or taking family or pregnancy leave
- Participating in an investigation as a witness
- Filing a complaint with the Civil Rights Department
