Identifying the Signs of Workplace Discrimination
You may wonder if what you are going through at work is considered discrimination under the law. There are several protected characteristics. If someone is discriminating against you based on these characteristics, your legal rights have been violated and you can act legally against the guilty party.
The law protects you if you are being discriminated against due to your nationality, sex, disability, race, religion, and familial status.
Discrimination can be defined as being treated unfairly based on your belonging to one of those protected characteristics. If someone is refusing to promote you because you are a woman, won’t reasonably accommodate your disability, fired you because they found out you were pregnant, etc. there are examples of discrimination.
