Failure to Promote

Failure to Promote | Attorneys for Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers, Jacksonville and Miami

There is never a guarantee that because an employee possesses certain qualifications that they will be hired or promoted to a certain position. Discrimination or retaliation certainly can play a key role in cases regarding a failure to promote or hire qualified personnel. By analyzing business records, witness testimony, and work history, various forms of discrimination may be identifiable. Factors such as ethnicity, age, and gender often determine the outcome of hiring or promotional assessments.

You do not have much of a chance in failure to promote or hire lawsuits without proper documentation. Compiling the following list will surely help your cause and make it easier on the lawyer evaluating your case:

  • Employee guidelines and handbooks
  • Voicemail
  • Performance evaluations
  • Official job description
  • Valuable email or annotations
  • Acclamations or awards

Businesses cannot always hide discriminatory effects. For example, when layoffs occur, did age of the affected employees matter? Have the latest job promotions all gone in favor of specific genders or races? Also, how does your skill set stack up against those who were promoted or hired? Your attorney will recognize these patterns of discrimination, along with additional evidence, to build a case on your behalf.
