What Types of Discrimination Are Employees Protected From?

If you believe you were barred from employment, passed up for promotion or otherwise treated unequally in your workplace due to your physical condition, identity or stance against inappropriate behavior, you may be able to make a valid discrimination claim. 

Federal laws prevent employment discrimination based on:

• Retaliation
• Disability
• Race
• Sex
• Age 
• National origin
• Color
• Religion
• Pregnancy
• Genetic information
• Sexual harassment
• Equal pay/compensation

Additional protections for employees may be offered at the state level. Because laws are always shifting in regard to this area, it is best to contact a knowledgeable employment attorney to advise you on how current federal and California laws apply to your case.

How Our Discrimination Attorney Can Help Your Case

At the Law Office of Scott Ernest Wheeler, I carefully examine the details of your situation and advise you on whether or not your discrimination claim is likely to hold up in the eyes of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the national agency that exists to enforce anti-discrimination laws, or in subsequent civil litigation.

Examples of Discrimination In The Workplace

Discrimination can take a serious toll on the people it affects, from limiting career and financial opportunities to causing substantial psychological stress. I listen to my clients' needs so I can seek the forms of remedy and compensation that are fitting for their experience. 

 I represent clients who have suffered discrimination in the form of:

• Unequal pay
• Unequal benefits
• Harassment
• Job loss
• Missed promotion opportunities
• Unfair hiring

I am a strong advocate for California workers and will try to resolve your case out of court, so that you can seek a favorable settlement without the necessity of a trial. If a courtroom appearance becomes necessary, I will represent you with persistence and conviction.

How To Deal With Discrimination In The Workplace

Workplace discrimination and harassment can go hand in hand. There are federal, state, and local laws that prohibit workplace discrimination and harassment and safeguard the rights of employees. What can you do if you are a victim of workplace discrimination? 

Here are some strategies for dealing with discrimination:

• Inform your employer that you are experiencing discrimination and that you are treating the problem seriously.
• If your employer fails to react, you should strongly consider calling the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
• Make a record of all instances of discrimination or harassment. Make sure that you include the day, hour, place, names of everyone involved (including any witnesses), and the specifics of what occurred.
  Keep any items you consider to be racist or harassing. Include photos that have been posted or left for you. When it comes to establishing your case, having the original object or a photo of the discriminatory display will better help demonstrate the situation.
• Check your organization's anti-discrimination policy and keep a copy so that you may reference it for your case.
• Get in touch with a discrimination lawyer who has a thorough knowledge of California employment law. Contact Law Office of Scott Ernest Wheeler online or dial (800) 893-0584 to request a free evaluation.
