FEHA's anti-discrimination protections (as opposed to its harassment provisions) generally apply to employers with:
a.One or more employees

FEHA's core anti-discrimination requirements apply to employers with five or more employees. (Harassment provisions reach employers with even one employee.) A growing contractor should know that crossing the five-employee threshold brings the full weight of FEHA's discrimination rules.
