Understanding Different Types of Workplace Discrimination
Types of Discrimination in Florida
An employer’s motivation to promote, hire or fire an employee, is not always based on his or her performance. Such action can be based on other reasons, ones that are often against the law.
There are many different ways that employers can unlawfully discriminate against their employees.
- People over the age of 40 are protected by federal law from being discriminated against in favor of younger workers.
- A worker’s career may be stalled or thwarted by discrimination based on gender.
- Pregnant women can face employment barriers, sometimes finding themselves demoted or even fired after taking guaranteed leave.
- If an employer refuses to make scheduling allowances for the Sabbath or religious holidays, this may constitute religious discrimination.
- Employers can discriminate against a worker based on his or her sexual orientation.
