What Is Workplace Discrimination?

There are few things worse than being treated differently in the workplace because of your disability, gender, skin color, age, race, national origin, etc. Discrimination can be devastating to an individual’s career and physical and mental health.

Anti-discrimination laws make it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of:

• Hiring, firing, and work assignments
• Salary
• Benefits
• Promotions
• Performance evaluations
• Discipline
• Any decisions that affect the terms and conditions of employment

We believe in standing up for our clients’ rights and have successfully represented individuals who have been subjected to discrimination on the basis of:

• Age
• Alienage or Citizenship Status
• Arrest or Conviction Record
• Color
• Disability
• Gender
• Gender Identity
• Marital or Partnership Status
• National Origin
• Pregnancy
• Race
• Religion/Creed
• Sexual Orientation
• Status as Victim of Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence, or Stalking

Zapata, Jr., P.C., we believe that all workers should be free of unlawful discrimination and will vigorously represent our clients to punish the wrongdoers and to make our clients whole in all respects, including damages for emotional pain and suffering, back pay, punitive damages, attorneys fees, interest, etc.
