Besides being illegal, discrimination at work is a deplorable act that has no place in the modern workplace. If you believe that you have experienced discrimination at work based on race, age, gender, religion, disability, or inclusion in another protected class, the Taylor Law Firm in Lakewood, Colorado, can explain your legal rights and options.
Discrimination
Success in the workplace should be judged on the markers of performance and ability, not other personal factors. At the Taylor Law Firm, we can help you if you have suffered due to:
- Racial discrimination — Discrimination based on ethnicity or national origin.
- Gender discrimination — Discrimination based on the attitude that one gender is superior to another.
- Age discrimination — Age discrimination may have occurred when an employee is treated less favorably based on his or her age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects workers who are age 40 and above.
- Pregnancy discrimination — Pregnancy discrimination may have occurred when a pregnant woman or new mother is demoted, fired, or not hired based on pregnancy.
- Disability discrimination — Discrimination based on a disability or perceived disability on the basis of any physical or mental disability. Specific examples of discrimination may include hiring, firing or demoting, harassment, or refusing to accommodate employees with a disability.
- Sexual orientation discrimination — Discrimination based on sexual orientation, including being homosexual (gay or lesbian), bisexual, or heterosexual.
- Transgender discrimination — Discrimination based on transgender status. Examples of discrimination may include workplace harassment, discrimination during the hiring process, demoting or firing the employee, or verbal or physical abuse.
- Religious discrimination — Discrimination on the basis of religion involves treating an individual differently based on his or her religious beliefs. One example of religious discrimination would be failure to allow for time off to observe a religious holiday.
An employer can fire you for any reason except if that reason is illegal. If you were fired on the basis of any of the above reasons, do not be afraid to hold your employer responsible and take legal action. Additionally, you may be eligible for compensation for your losses. A Denver-area employment discrimination lawyer can explain more.
