This California Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis P.C. discusses the new California law which bans sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace directed toward unpaid interns. The new law (AB 1443) extends the workplace harassment and discrimination protections of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to unpaid interns, volunteers and individuals in apprenticeship training programs, unless an exception applies, such as a bona fide occupational qualification. California becomes the third state to ban workplace sexual harassment and discrimination of unpaid interns, joining New York and Oregon. The law will go into effect on January 1, 2015.
