What Is Discrimination?
Discrimination is the unjust treatment of people based on personal characteristics and can take on many forms. Laws protect employees from enduring discrimination in the workplace. These laws state that employers, managers and other coworkers cannot treat a worker differently, or fire a worker, based on characteristics that are unrelated to their duties and job performance.
What Types Of Discrimination Are There?
Under the Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other laws, workers like you are protected from prejudicial and unjust treatment. There are several types of workplace discrimination including:
- Age
- Sex
- Race
- Genetic
- Religion
- National Origin
- Pregnancy
Harassment in the workplace is also against the law. This includes sexual, verbal, emotional or physical abuse.
