The Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) changed the definition of “Employer” for purposes of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). FEHA still applies to employers with five or more employees. However, the way in which those five employees is calculated has changed. Previously, employers must have had five employees “each working day in any twenty consecutive calendar weeks in the current calendar year or preceding calendar year.”
