Workers rely on employment legislation to protect their rights. Most complaints are about harassment and discrimination. To have a valid claim, you have to be more than simply treated differently. It must be a characteristic that the law protects that triggers the treatment. Do you know there are a wide range of characteristics that the law protects against discrimination at work? Until recently, it was just race, nationality, age, and gender. The law now prohibits discrimination against employees based on pregnancy, marriage status, military service, or disability. The law prohibits discrimination against employees based on garnishment. Sometimes, it is clear and documented that there are discrimination claims, but most of them need a thorough examination of not just the employee’s file, but the employer’s comments and decisions. These events can serve as the basis for a lawsuit against your employer. The creation or acceptance of an unfriendly work environment often comes with claims of harassment and discrimination. To determine if you have a case, we need to understand the facts to assess the nature and seriousness of the offending conduct. We also need to know if an employer was made aware and what they did to fix the issue.
