Have You Experienced Discrimination in the Workplace?

What is Workplace Discrimination?

Employers are forbidden by law from engaging in any conduct that discriminates based on age, race, color, nationality, sex/gender, religion, military status, sexual orientation, disability or perceived disability, genetic information, or pregnancy status. Employers who engage in illegally discriminatory behavior can be held accountable under the law.

Examples of workplace discrimination may include:

  • Refusing to hire or firing someone based on their religion
  • Making sexually explicit jokes about women
  • Aggressive or exclusionary behavior based on a person’s skin color
  • Not considering an employee for a promotion that they are eligible for as retaliation for reporting workplace discrimination

If you feel that you are a victim of a hostile work environment, talk to a New York employment law lawyer at The Russell Friedman Law Group, LLP for sound legal advice about the protections provided to you under state anti-discrimination law.
