WHAT IS DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE?
Discrimination occurs when a member of a protected class of individuals is not hired, demoted, fired, or denied a raise. The individual may have endured a hostile work environment due to their membership in that protected class. What are some of the protected classes?
Age
Disability
Ethnicity
Race
Religion
Sex
Gender
While these cases may be difficult to prove, we carefully investigate the facts of your situation and then take the necessary steps to file the claim. First, we must file a discrimination claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which must be filed within 180 days of the discriminatory act/incident.
