What Is Employment Discrimination?

• Employment discrimination laws apply to all
  procedural steps of employment, including
  interviewing, hiring, advertising, promoting and
  terminating employees.
• Employment discrimination laws state that an
  employer cannot discriminate against an employee
  or potential employee on the basis of certain
  characteristics like race, gender, age, national
  origin, disability, and religion. Some
  jurisdictions have extended discrimination
  protection to sexual orientation.

How Much Do Employees Have To PayFor a Lawyer?

• Many employees have a hard time affording an
  employment lawyer because they do not have a job
  and cannot afford legal services.
• Many employment lawyers know this and will work
  on a contingency fee basis. Contingency means
  that the employee owes the attorney nothing for
  the legal services until and unless the attorney
  makes a settlement or judgment on the employees
  behalf.
