Depending on your circumstances, federal or state laws may cover your case should you go to trial.

The Job Hiring Process

In many cases, people are the target of discrimination even before they are hired. An employer may decline your application because of a disability that doesn’t hinder your ability to work but may require reasonable accommodations. Sometimes, hiring managers or HR departments discriminate on the basis of age, race, religion, and other factors – even during the application process. If you suspect you’ve experienced discrimination during the hiring process, you should contact a human resources attorney immediately.

In addition to regulations prohibiting discrimination during the hiring process, employers also cannot pass up workers for promotions in a discriminatory manner. For example, your boss can’t refuse to promote you because of a disability, your race, religion, or because you need time off for military duty.

The Fair Labor Standards Act, workers’ compensation laws, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act protect employees from specific actions against them.

“ Mike J. ”

Morgan and Morgan is truly the best law firm! PERIOD! You could consider yourself blessed when they take your case. Immediately, you can breathe. Anxiety goes from a 10 to 0! I needed them 3 TIMES! I wish I didn’t have to hire an attorney but my family and I were blessed. We won every single time! Insurance companies truly know that they will take it to court! I got settlements for all 3 lawsuits. Never stepped a foot into a courtroom. Thank you so much Morgan & Morgan!
