Discrimination and Retaliation

Discrimination Based On Who You Are

Your employer has absolutely no right to ever discriminate against you based upon who you are. At the core of human decency is the expectation that your actual or perceived race, sex, national origin, religion, sexual preference/orientation, or any other characteristic will never cause you to be treated differently.

You are required to work hard, to dedicate an immense amount of your time to your job and to be dedicated to your employer. At a bare minimum, you have the right to be treated equally and not have your pay, benefits, advancement, or other rewards for your efforts compromised in any way by bias, discrimination, or abhorrence of one of your unique personal characteristics.

Areas of Expertise

Disability Discrimination

At times, employees have tremendous challenges to overcome in order to perform their work. This could be a physical handicap (such as a disease, syndrome, or medical condition) or it can be a mental health issue/illness, such as depression or anxiety

Sexual Harassment

An employer owes their employees a workplace that is free from sexual harassment. No one is required to tolerate unwanted sexual advances while they are performing their job duties. Falling victim to touching, uncomfortable or aggressive flirtation, jokes, texts, emails and phone calls that serve no legitimate business purpose are all considered forms of sexual harassment.

Wage Litigation

As an employee you have a right to be paid for all the work you perform for your employer. Often employers cut corners and don’t appropriately pay employees for “pre-shift” work or “traveling from the office to the job site.” Employers often don’t pay for “lunch breaks” but then ask the employee to work through a portion, or all, of their lunch.
