Helping Employees Stand Up Against Workplace Discrimination

Understanding Your Rights as an Employee

Your employer cannot take any adverse employment action against you simply because of your race, sexual orientation, religion, age, sex, national origin or disability. In addition, state and federal laws also protect you from retaliation if you make a complaint to your employer regarding discriminatory conduct in the workplace or otherwise blow the whistle on your employer’s unlawful acts. If you feel any of these rights may have been violated, it may be worth discussing your case with us.

What is an Adverse Employment Action?

Simply put, it is any action by your employer that may impact your job in a negative way, and may include:

Wrongful discharge, termination or lay off
Wrongful retaliation
Sexual harassment
Discrimination based on age, race, sexual orientation, sex, religion, disability or national origin
Suspension
Refusal to hire
Demotion
Denial of a promotion
Pay reduction
Undeserved or unequal discipline
Negative performance review
Unwanted or negative shift change or transfer
