Boston Employment Discrimination Lawyers

“I lost my job for no reason, but someone with a different ethnicity and less experience was kept on. What are my rights?”

Employers generally control pay, promotions, hiring, and firing. This flexibility comes from employment-at-will laws. However, if any of these decisions rely on age, race, national origin, heritage, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, gender, pregnancy, religion, or other discriminatory factors, the employer may violate state or federal law.

In such cases, a knowledgeable ADA lawyer can help. Gordon Law Group provides skilled representation for employees who face discrimination. Our attorneys guide clients from the very first questions all the way through court proceedings.

Employees receive protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and relevant state laws. Therefore, if an employer discriminates against you, you may have grounds to take legal action. A Gordon Law Group, LLP employment discrimination attorney can evaluate your case and assist in pursuing your rights.

Signs of Workplace Discrimination

Several indicators may suggest that an employer discriminates:

• For example, sudden, intense scrutiny of your country of origin, race, or religion
• Denial of reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities or for pregnant employees
• Retaining or promoting younger, less experienced coworkers over older employees
• Large-scale layoffs that disproportionately affect workers over age 40
• Retaliation against whistleblowers or employees who file complaints
• Refusing to investigate complaints thoroughly or showing disinterest

Additionally, employers sometimes disguise discriminatory actions as minor layoffs or “reductions in force.” They may also manipulate promotions or hiring so that certain employees are disadvantaged.

Your discrimination attorney will review what occurred carefully and work to protect your rights under federal and state laws.
