FEHA uses which term to describe prohibited actions by employers?

• A. Unlawful Conduct
• B. Unfair Practices
• C. Prohibited Employment Practices
• D. Harassment and Discrimination

Answer: (C)

FEHA labels employer actions that violate the law as prohibited employment practices. Using this term signals that the conduct is not just wrong, but legally forbidden and subject to remedies and enforcement. These practices include discrimination based on protected characteristics, harassment (including creating a hostile work environment), retaliation for opposing or reporting discrimination, and related violations. While some texts may refer to FEHA actions as unlawful or describe them as discrimination or harassment, the standard phrasing used to describe the employer actions FEHA forbids is “prohibited employment practices.”
