- Fire, discipline, or demote an employee based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability
- Deny training or promotions due to discriminatory factors
- Harass an employee or create a hostile work environment
- Refuse to hire an applicant based on protected characteristics

Protections for Job Applicants
Employment protections extend beyond current employees. Job applicants are also entitled to freedom from discrimination based on age, race, gender, nationality, or religion. Employers cannot seek certain personal information without written consent, including credit or background checks. If you believe your rights as a prospective employee have been violated, consulting with a labor law lawyer is essential.
Act Quickly – Deadlines Are Short
Many workplace discrimination claims must first be filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Deadlines are often strict, generally within 180 days of the discriminatory action.
