The California Supreme Court recently ruled that the state’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) permits a business entity acting as an agent of an employer to be held directly liable for employment discrimination.

Additionally, such agents must carry out FEHA-regulated activities on behalf of an employer to be found potentially liable for alleged discrimination.
