I went through something similar. The key is to act quickly — statutes of limitation are shorter than you think. My attorney took it on contingency and we settled for a decent amount.

Check if your employer has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). It sometimes includes free legal consultations. Also, many employment attorneys offer free initial consultations.

From an HR perspective, this is exactly the kind of situation that triggers EEOC complaints. Most companies will settle to avoid the investigation costs.

This sounds like a clear violation. Document everything and file with the appropriate agency. In California, you have strong protections under the Labor Code.
