Understanding Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination can occur at any phase in employment, including during the hiring process or when awaiting an expected promotion or wage or salary increase while employed, or as a wrongful basis for termination. It can also be the cause of adverse actions such as demotion, discharge, or a reduction in wage or hours.
In Florida, employers cannot discriminate during hiring or employment based on:
- Sex and gender
- Race or national origin
- Religion
- Age
- Disability
- Marital status or pregnancy
Protections in Place
Laws that govern discrimination include the Florida Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
These laws protect you in the workplace, and violations of the laws are actionable and may lead to legal remedies such as punitive damages or court orders mandating that the discriminatory behavior ceases. You can receive compensation to cover emotional anguish, suffering, and any lost wages associated with the discrimination.
