Workplace Discrimination Can Occur
Most employers are pragmatic enough to hire the best person for the job, and handle situations without taking into account race, gender, religion, or an employee’s other personal attributes. But discrimination and harassment in the workplace still occurs frequently in Kentucky and the rest of the United States.
Some discrimination can be subtle, and often appear inadvertent, but is still harmful. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, forms of discrimination can include:
- Refusing to hire;
- Using unnecessary job qualifications to root out members of minority groups;
- Failing to promote;
- Refusing to hire a person with disabilities even though they are able to do the job with reasonable accommodation;
- Refusing to reasonably accommodate the religious practice or custom of an employee;
- Unfairly enforcing disciplinary policies against members of minority groups;
- Advertising positions in ways that excludes minority groups; and
- Refusing to provide a reasonable accommodation for a disabled employee who requests it.
These are just a few ways that discrimination can occur in the workplace. There are a variety of ways employees can be treated unfairly, and a seasoned Paducah attorney can help you understand more about your situation.
Realities of A Hostile Work Environment
Even when a labor violation hasn’t occurred, there is a legal expectation that your employer will control the workplace environment. This includes policies preventing harassment based on your identity, as well as policies for identifying and putting a stop to any instances of harassment or discrimination in the workplace.
For this reason, it is crucial victims of workplace harassment in Kentucky report the behavior to their supervisors, human resources, or other designated entity in their company immediately. If the employer fails to respond, it may be time to speak to an Paducah workplace harassment attorney.
