What is Employment Discrimination in the Workplace?
Employment discrimination is where an employee is being treated differently because of a protected class. Those protected classes are race, religion, gender, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, pregnancy, and past criminal convictions. You cannot be treated differently because of those classes. Some examples of employment discrimination are where you feel like you're being given harder jobs because of your race, or you're being given less hours because of your gender, or comments are being made about your race, or your gender, or your ethnicity, or your religion, or your beliefs. And if you feel that you have been treated differently, or you're not sure if it's because of those protected classes, give us a call at Phillips & Associates; maybe we can help.
