Can You Spot Illegal Discrimination At Work?
AT THE LAW OFFICES OF TODD M. FRIEDMAN, P.C., WE UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE OF BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AT WORK.
We know that taking a stand against workplace discrimination can be scary, especially if you aren’t sure what your rights are.
In addition to providing legal representation for workers like you, we also want to share our legal knowledge to help you understand the law as it applies to you and your employer.
In this presentation, you will learn some important things about your right to be treated fairly in the workplace:
Are you protected by anti-discrimination laws?
What counts as discrimination?
Can your employer break the law unintentionally?
What if your employer retaliates against you?
We provide a more in-depth look at these and other related topics in our white paper.
Workplace discrimination may sound easy to spot, but is it? In many cases, it can be more subtle than you may expect.

Another thing to understand about employment discrimination is that it is not just about hiring and firing decisions.
Illegal discrimination also occurs in a wide range of other employment-related matters, such as:
Pay and compensation
Assignment of job duties
Time off and other benefits
Promotions and training opportunities
You may fear that you will be fired or suffer other employment setbacks by speaking up for yourself at work. However, it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you for refusing to tolerate workplace discrimination.
