How Workplace Discrimination Affects Employees
Discrimination in the workplace occurs when employees are treated unfairly based on certain characteristics that are protected by federal or state laws. Examples of discriminatory acts in the workplace include:
- Unfair Hiring or Termination: An employee is hired, promoted, or fired based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics rather than performance or merit.
- Unequal Pay: Employees performing the same duties at their place of work are not compensated fairly or equally as a result of discrimination.
- Hostile Work Environment: Workers are victims of discriminatory harassment, retaliatory actions after submitting a complaint, or otherwise hostile environments while at their place of work.
- Pregnancy Discrimination: Employees who are pregnant or new parents are treated unfairly, denied promotions, or forced to go on leave because of their medical condition.
By working with a New Mexico work discrimination lawyer at Davie & Valdez, P.C., you’ll receive professional legal guidance to help you understand your rights and ensure justice is served when those rights are denied.
Upholding Anti-Discrimination Laws
By law, employers are required to comply with civil protections such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). When these rights are violated, we hold wrongful employers accountable for their actions and help discriminated employees seek justice through proper legal action.
It is an unfortunate fact that discrimination often goes hand-in-hand with harassment. If you’ve experienced workplace harassment in the form of abuse (physical or verbal), offensive speech or actions, or a toxic work environment due to discrimination, we will ensure that the offenders face consequences for their actions. We are ready to stand up for your rights and help you achieve a just resolution.
