Workplace discrimination can create a hostile and unfair environment, depriving employees of their rights. Whether based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or another protected characteristic, discrimination is illegal under federal and state law. If you are facing unfair treatment at work, an experienced employment discrimination attorney can help you seek justice. MSPG Law Group specializes in employment law and is dedicated to protecting the rights of workers who have been wronged by their employers.
What is Employment Discrimination?
Employment discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or unequally because of certain characteristics protected by law, including:
- Race or ethnicity
- Gender or sexual orientation
- Disability
- Religion
- Age (40 and older, under federal law)
- Pregnancy
- National origin
This discrimination can manifest in hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, benefits, or other employment terms. Discriminatory practices are prohibited under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).
