Workplace Discrimination
No employee wants to be treated unfairly or unfavorably, yet it happens in the workplace both intentionally and unintentionally. Thanks to the Federal government's Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, employees who find themselves in discrimination situations are protected and have the right to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). By contacting Jay Trucks & Associates, your workplace discrimination case will be handled quickly and fairly.
Types of Discrimination
The EEO covers discrimination or harassment surrounding a person's:
- Religion or religious beliefs
- Sex or sexual discrimination
- Race, color or national origin
- Disability or perceived performances of people with disabilities
- Age
- Involvement in a discrimination case
It is illegal to discriminate against an individual in all employment circumstances and conditions, including:
- Recruitment, interviews and hiring
- Job title or assignments
- Testing and training
- Promotions or layoffs
- Compensation or benefits
- Facility use
- Firing
The statute of limitations in a workplace discrimination case is typically 180 days after the incident occurs. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that discrimination claims are filed as quickly and accurately as possible. This is where a well-trained discrimination lawyer can help expedite your claim.
If you have been a victim of workplace discrimination and would like to file a workplace discrimination complaint in the quickest, most precise manner possible, please contact the Michigan discrimination lawyers at Jay Trucks & Associates to get the legal wheels turning.
