Rob (a Single man) works as an appliance-repair technician for a nationwide

appliance-service company, with over 2000 employees, but the office he works for

is located in Oakland, which has 50 employees. The company has given Rob an

"Employee's Handbook" that lists all of the employment benefits available to

employees who have made it successfully through the first 6 months of

employment. Rob has just completed his first 6 months with the company. In the

Handbook, Rob sees that Married employees are to be provided with 100% pre-

paid health-insurance for the Employee and the Employee's spouse, and any

children under the age of 21 still living at home. For Single employees (never

married or divorced or widowed), the company will only give $50 per month for the

Employee to use to cover part of the costs of health insurance. Rob checks

around and finds out that he will need at least $300 per month to cover his health

insurance.

Rob can challenge these discriminatory benefits, based on the following California

Government Code:

a. Section 12940(a)

b. Section 12947.5(a)

c. Section 12950.1]
