What Types of Job Discrimination Can Our Attorneys Help You With?

Of course, you can also book a free consultation with us to discuss the specifics of your case if you’re not sure.
That said, here are the most common types of employment discrimination our workplace discrimination lawyers deal with every day:
Racial Discrimination
The law protects you from unfair treatment from an employer due to your skin. So, you can take your employer to court for racism at work.
Gender Discrimination
It is illegal to treat an employee differently, including paying them less solely based on their gender. Sex discrimination is still common despite fights for equality between men and women.
Pregnancy
If you fall pregnant and your employer lays you off or mistreats you in any way, you have a right to sue. The same case applies to employers who deny you employment because you are pregnant.
Age Discrimination
You have been fired or denied an employment opportunity because you’re over 40? Age discrimination is illegal, and we can help you fight such treatment.
Religion Discrimination
You have the right to practice any faith without fear under US and Pennsylvania law. It is, therefore, illegal for your employer to treat you differently because of the religion you practice.
Disability Discrimination
The Americans with Disabilities Act protects people with disabilities from unfair treatment at work. Apart from disabilities, an employer shouldn’t treat you differently because of other health conditions, too, whether real or perceived.
Maternity or Paternity Leave Violation
Denial maternity or paternity leave to eligible workers as provided in the law is illegal. So, you can sue your employer for this.
Sexual Orientation Discrimination
