What is employment discrimination?
Employment discrimination is when an employer refuses to hire a person or treats a person differently, adversely, because of a characteristic that person has, for example, race, age, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation.
Employment discrimination happens when an employer breaks a law that’s been passed by the federal or state government, that forbids discriminating against employees for some of these characteristics that I’ve mentioned.
The only way you can know for sure if you have an employment discrimination claim is to talk with a lawyer who has experience in that area, who can ask the right questions and understand whether or not the way you’ve been treated may, in fact, be the result of illegal discrimination.
