Understanding Workplace Discrimination

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or unfavorably based on characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. Discrimination can affect hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, job assignments, and other employment terms and conditions.

Steps to Take if You Experience Workplace Violence or Discrimination

If you have experienced workplace violence or discrimination, it is essential to take the following steps:

  1. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of incidents, including dates, times, locations, descriptions of events, and any witnesses.
  2. Report the Incident: Notify your supervisor, human resources department, or the appropriate authority within your organization. Ensure that an official report is filed.
  3. Seek Medical Attention: If you have been physically harmed, seek immediate medical care and document your injuries.
  4. Consult an Attorney: Contact an experienced workplace violence and discrimination lawyer to discuss your case and explore your legal options.
  5. File a Complaint: If internal resolution is not possible, file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or your state’s fair employment agency.
