Understanding Discrimination and Your Protected Characteristics in the Workplace
In Mission Viejo, workplace discrimination can take many different forms. Discrimination happens when your company or a co-worker takes an action against you that shows their bias against you due to a protected class or characteristic. Discrimination can look like demotions, refusals to hire or promote, a reduction in your wages or benefits, wrongful termination of your employment, and the act of transferring an employee to a less desirable role or location.
In certain cases, discrimination doesn’t come from a manager, supervisor, or even another co-worker. Instead, discrimination can also come from a client or customer of your workplace. In these cases, it is still the responsibility of your employer to respond to the discrimination, and when they do not take this duty seriously, you may be entitled to file a claim.
In Mission Viejo, before going to file a complaint regarding discrimination, it is important to be aware of what counts as a protected characteristic. One of the most protected characteristics is that of race. Around 58% of Asian Americans feel that they have been victimized by racial discrimination. Other protected characteristics include:
- Ancestry or national origin, or discrimination based on an individual’s country of origin or region of the world, or in cases where a worker may appear to be from a certain ethnic background.
- Age or discrimination that occurs when a worker reaches 40 or older.
- Religion, or discrimination based on an individual’s religious, ethical, or moral beliefs, or in cases where an individual is not provided with reasonable accommodation in which to practice their religion.
- Gender identity, expression, or sexual orientation.
- Color, or discrimination against an individual based solely on their complexion.
- Sex or gender. Nearly 53% of women have faced discrimination at work based on gender.
- Pregnancy, or discrimination against a worker who happens to be pregnant, in terms of hiring or job assignments.
- Disability, either mental or physical.
- Genetic information, or the use of genetic information to make employment decisions.
- Other forms of discrimination include those based on military or veteran status, medical condition, or marital status.
If you believe you have suffered any of these forms of discrimination at your workplace, Attorney Briana Kim, PC, is here to stand up and fight for your rights. Keep in mind, an individual may be discriminated against based on more than one protected characteristic.
