Workplace Discrimination: Know Your Rights
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or religion. Federal and state laws protect employees from such treatment, ensuring equal opportunities for all.
Types of Workplace Discrimination
Employees may experience various forms of discrimination, including:
- Racial Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on race or ethnicity.
- Gender Discrimination: Unequal opportunities or pay gaps due to gender.
- Age Discrimination: Bias against employees aged 40 and older.
- Disability Discrimination: Denying reasonable accommodations for disabled employees.
- Religious Discrimination: Treating employees unfairly due to religious beliefs.
How to Address Workplace Discrimination
If you believe you are a victim of workplace discrimination, take these steps:
- Document the Incidents: Keep records of discriminatory behavior, emails, and witness statements.
- Report to HR: File a formal complaint with your company’s human resources department.
- Seek Legal Counsel: An employment attorney can help you take legal action against your employer.
