WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION 101

• Discrimination is defined as the unjust or
  prejudicial treatment of different categories of
  people or things, especially on the grounds of
  age, race, or sex. So what are the different
  types of workplace discrimination, and how can
  the attorneys at Nelson Law Group help you with
  your case?
• Age Discrimination
• Age discrimination is when people over the age of
  40 are discriminated against in the workplace in
  aspects such as hiring, firing, benefits,
  promotions, layoffs, and pay. The Age
  Discrimination in Employment Act protects those
  over the age of 40 that may have a case.

• Disability Discrimination
• The Americans with Disabilities Act protects
  those who may or may not have a disability from
  discrimination. If a person has a disability or
  is regarded by the employer as someone who has an
  impairment and is discriminated against in
  aspects such as hiring, firing, benefits,
  promotions, layoffs, and pay, then this person
  may quality for a disability discrimination case.
• Pregnancy Discrimination
• The Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits
  discrimination based on pregnancy. This means
  that women cannot be fired for being pregnant,
  and an employer cannot retaliate.

4

• Race Discrimination
• Federal law prohibits race discrimination. If an
  employee is a member of a protected class and an
  employer takes action against that employee
  because of this, then that employee may be a
  victim of race discrimination.
• Sex and Gender Discrimination
• Federal law prohibits discrimination in the
  workplace based on the sex of an employee. If an
  employer takes action against an employee based
  on sex or gender, then that employee may be a
  victim of workplace discrimination.
