Fort Lauderdale Discrimination Attorneys

What Is Considered Workplace Discrimination?

Both state and federal law prohibits discrimination in the workplace. This includes discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, national origin, and more. In a legal sense, “discrimination” includes a narrow range of actions and/or behavior, either direct or indirect. Harassment, including sexual harassment, is a form of illegal discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Using racial slurs or epithets, displaying anti-religious imagery aimed at one person, or making jokes based on someone’s national origin are all forms of harassment. Refusing to hire someone due to his age or offering a lower wage to a female employee because she is a woman are also forms of discrimination.

If you have been discriminated against in the workplace, you may have the right to legal recourse. USA Employment Lawyers can help you take action against your employer and/or the responsible parties.

Protected Classes in Florida

Anti-discrimination laws protect employees from discrimination based on certain protected classes.

At the federal level, these classes include:

Additional protected classes under Florida state law include:

  • Marital status
  • Sickle cell trait
  • AIDS/HIV

Understanding Your Rights

In Florida, most federal anti-discrimination laws apply only to employers with at least 15 employees. Additionally, no employer, regardless of the number of employees, is allowed to offer unequal pay for men and women.

If you believe that you are the victim of workplace harassment or discrimination, you should bring the issue to the attention of your HR department. If you believe you were discriminated against during the hiring process, you may wish to contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. No matter the situation, it is wise to discuss your legal rights and options with a seasoned attorney.

At USA Employment Lawyers, we can help you fight for your rights and hold discriminatory employers accountable. Our Fort Lauderdale workplace discrimination lawyers draw on their extensive experience and in-depth legal knowledge to help you navigate the process from start to finish.
