Many employees don’t recognize when their rights are being violated. Here are some common situations where you may have a legal case:
Discrimination in Hiring & Promotions
● Passed over for a job or promotion due to gender, race, or age
● Being asked inappropriate personal questions during interviews
Unfair Treatment at Work
● Unequal pay for the same job responsibilities
● Different work conditions based on identity (race, gender, disability, etc.)
Harassment & Hostile Work Environments
● Sexual harassment from managers or coworkers
● Racial slurs, offensive jokes, or bullying
● Being excluded from meetings or decision-making
Failure to Provide Accommodations
● Employer refusing reasonable adjustments for a disability
● Denying modified work duties after an injury
Wrongful Termination & Retaliation
● Fired after reporting discrimination or harassment
● Employer cutting hours or demoting you for taking parental leave
If any of these sound familiar, you may have a strong case for compensation or legal action.
