- Discrimination in use of company facilities
- Discrimination in pay, benefits, or retirement plans
- Denial of rights to disability leave, maternity leave or family leave, including discrimination after return from pregnancy leave
- Harassment or toleration of harassment based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age
- Retaliation for supporting another employee's right to protection against discrimination
- Employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the ability of the applicant or employee
- Equal employment opportunity violations based on marriage to a person protected under Title VII
Our attorneys know how to prove claims of employment discrimination
In today's workplace, the evidence of discrimination will rarely appear out in the open. While the testimony of witnesses can go far to establish a claim of discrimination, we're just as likely to use statistical analysis and data trends to prove your case.
