What Is Employment Discrimination?

Employment discrimination occurs when a person is treated worse in the workplace because of a status protected by law. Examples of workplace discrimination include:

• A woman is fired because she reports that she is pregnant.
• African Americans are not provided with the same opportunities for advancement as their Caucasian counterparts.
• An employee is demoted after reporting sexual harassment.
• A company has exclusive client meetings that lead to advancement in a strip club and excludes women employees from attending.
• An employer refuses to allow employees of a specific faith to pray.
• A company lays off mostly older workers while keeping younger workers.
• An employee is fired after requesting a reasonable accommodation.
• A manager knows harassment is occurring and does nothing to stop it.
• A company policy requires employees to dress in a certain way that does not align with their gender identities.

These are just a few examples. If you suspect that you are being treated differently because of a protected status, reach out to Naidich Law for help.

Protected Statuses Under Employment Discrimination Laws

State and federal employment laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of an actual perceived association with a protected characteristic, such as:

• Race
• Color
• National origin
• Religion
• Age (if 40 or over)
• Sex
• Sexual orientation
• Gender identity or expression
• Pregnancy
• Disability
• Genetic information

To have an actionable employment discrimination claim, you must be able to show the adverse employment decision or action was because of one of these protected statuses.
