Employment Discrimination
Workplace Discrimination?
It is unlawful under various state and federal laws for an employer to subject an employee to disparate treatment or an adverse employment action because of the employee’s age, gender, disability, national origin, race/color, religion, pregnancy. For these types of claims, there must be a causal connection between the discrimination and adverse employment action. Typically, employers defend these cases by claiming that there is a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the adverse employment action. It is important to have an attorney review your potential case if you feel you have been discriminated against to determine the validity of the claim and non-discriminatory reason being given by the employer.
