Michigan Employment Law Attorneys
At Faupel, Fraser & Fessler, Attorneys at Law, we are committed to protecting workers' employment rights. When an employee experiences retaliation or discrimination, their rights must be protected.
If you believe you have been victim to employment discrimination or harassment, contact our law firm now. In these types of cases, there is a short statute of limitations, meaning your case is only valid if initiated within a certain amount of time.
Types of Workplace Discrimination
Although employment discrimination can occur in many forms, some of the most common cases we see are:
- Disability — Many employers fail to meet the needs of their disabled employees whether it is a mental or physical condition
- Gender — Gender discrimination may be in the form of not being hired or promoted, being harassed, or wrongfully terminated
- Sexual Harassment — Employers are legally obligated to address harassment incidents that occur in the workplace and are initiated by third parties
- Race/national origin - This can occur in the form of unfair treatment or harassment by disparaging jokes or comments related to race or national origin of employees
- Religion - Workplaces are required to accommodate to the religious beliefs and practices of their employees
- Sexual orientation - Employment discrimination of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer employees can occur in many ways, including harassment
- Age Discrimination - Employers are prohibited from discriminating against people based on their age
- Retaliation — Employees facing retaliation for refusing to perform instructions they believe constitute illegal discrimination practices are protected by law.
