TYPES OF WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION

All employees should be treated equally or rewarded based on merit and achievement, and nothing else. There are even laws put in place to protect employees from being discriminated against based on protected characteristics. Unfortunately, this is often not enough to maintain a safe working environment. If you find yourself unable to perform your job duties due to the discrimination you have faced, we may be able to help you seek restitution.

Discrimination is illegal based on the following categories:

• Age
• Pregnancy
• Race
• Religion
• Gender
• Disability
• Sexual orientation
