  • Sex
  • Religion
  • Age
  • Disability
  • Pregnancy
  • Sexual orientation (in some states and cities)

When You Suffer from Employment Discrimination

Employment discrimination occurs when a person believes he or she has control over some aspect of your life, identifies you as having a certain characteristic that belongs to a legally protected group and uses that control to treat you unfairly. To prove employment discrimination, you must show that your employer intended to treat you differently or has treated others with the same protected characteristic unfairly. Employment Discrimination laws also protect you from harassment by your employer or coworkers and retaliation against you for reporting discrimination
You have basis for an employment discrimination claim if your employer has treated you differently in
  • Hiring, firing, promotions or forced retirement
  • Job advertisements or recruitment procedures
  • Salary, compensation, or health benefit packages
  • Waiving the right to sue in exchange for severance pay

Why you need an Employment Discrimination Lawyer

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the Federal anti-discrimination laws and investigates claims of discrimination in the workplace. In order to file a lawsuit in Federal court, you must file a claim with the EEOC within 180 days after the discrimination occurs. Employment discrimination claims are complicated because procedural laws vary. An experienced employment discrimination lawyer will help you with the filing deadlines specific to your claim and help you investigate and pursue any additional remedies. You should contact an employment discrimination lawyer before signing a waiver or other severance package.
