Discrimination Lawyers
New York State
Employees and employers function best when their workplace relationships are based on mutual respect and those relationships foster a professional working environment. At the Law Offices of G. Oliver Koppell & Associates, we know how hard it is to work in a hostile environment in which you aren’t treated with the respect you deserve.
What is Employment Discrimination?
Employment discrimination arises when individuals are unfairly treated based on their protected status. An individual who is discriminated against may face more difficulty with hiring, promotions, job assignments, termination and compensation than other employees. By federal, state and city law, individuals are protected from discrimination according to these identifying factors:
- Age
- Race
- Disability
- Pregnancy
- National Origin
- Gender
- Religion
- Sexual Orientation
