Work Place Discrimination
Fixel Law Offices' represents the employee who has been discriminated against in the work place. These include, but are not limited to: age discrimination, gender discrimination, race discrimination, and religious discrimination.
Age Discrimination
We are no longer in a world where we can work until we are 60 and retire. Sometimes you may be required to work well past your 60's in order to pay your bills. But after a certain point you may encounter companies that do not want to hire people over a certain age group. You may be perfectly qualified for a job, but a bit older than the normal candidates the company is looking to hire. Although the company may not have intended to discriminate against you based on your age- that is exactly what they did.
If you found it difficult to find a job because of your age, or a company told you that you were too hold to work there, you may have been a victim of Age Discrimination. There have been laws against age discrimination for years and the courts understanding or definition of these laws is constantly changing. We can help you better understand what the laws say about age discrimination, and how you can fight back against it.
Sometimes workers experience discriminatory treatment that younger workers do not have happen to them. While it is difficult to say whether you have been a victim of age discrimination, you may want to schedule an appointment to help evaluate what has happened to you in the work place.
Gender Discrimination
Everyone should have the same rights int he work place despite their gender. Gender discrimination doesn't just happen against women as previously believed. In today's society there really isn't a job that can be defined as something women should be doing or something a man should be doing. If you find yourself in a job setting where you are not allowed to do a task because it is not something your gender should be doing, you make less an hour because of your gender, or you were not hired because you are not of the right gender you may have a case for gender discrimination.
Race Discrimination
As much as we would like to believe it no longer happens, race discrimination is still a problem in the work place. Race discrimination is still a major problem in some work places. If you were not hired, have been harassed, been unfairly disciplined, or denied promotions just because of your race or ethnicity you have been a victim of race discrimination. This is a serious situation which no one should have to go through.
Religious Discrimination
Your religion should not affect how you do work, and sometimes individuals and companies make broad assumptions about you because of your religion. But why should your religion be the topic at your work place? Why should you be treated differently because you hold a different religious view than your employer or co-workers? The simple answer is you shouldn't. Your religious preference does not have any bearing on your ability to do a good job, and you should not be treated differently because of your beliefs.
Religious discrimination can range from not being hired because of your religion, to defamatory statements against you or your religion, and even failure to recognize your beliefs or religious holidays, needs or required wardrobe. If the company you work for has wronged you because of your religion or belief you may have been a victim of religious discrimination.
