Submit a Written Complaint:
Prepare a written complaint to your employer in Spanish. Send it to a supervisor, manager, owner, or human resources employee via email or text message. You can use Google translate to help you draft an English version to submit to your employer in writing. Keep a copy of the text message or email for your records. If you sent the email from your work email, send a copy of the email to your personal email.
Contact a Spanish Speaking Employment Lawyer:
Because these situations are extremely fact specific, it is important to speak to a lawyer who speaks fluent Spanish. Otherwise, they miss important details that could affect your case. Contact Luna Legal Firm P.C. to speak with a Spanish speaking lawyer for free at info@lunalegalfirm.com.
Contact the California Civil Rights Department (CRD):
This is the primary agency to handle workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation complaints. If you need to report harassment and English is not your first language, you can contact the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) and request an interpreter to assist you in filing a complaint. If necessary, bring a trusted friend or family member to help communicate your concerns.
