Discrimination & Harassment in the Workplace
Do you work in an environment that you consider to be intimidating, offensive, or hostile? Among other things, this could include sexual innuendo, romantic advances, physical attacks or threats, insults, name-calling, bullying, distasteful jokes, racial or ethnic slurs, comments about physical appearance, and/or interference with work performance.
Unlawful discrimination can also occur if you have received negative treatment or been treated differently for being a member of a protected class (race, age, gender, disability, etc.). Such treatment could include:
- Failure to hire
- Failure to promote
- Unfair terms and conditions of employment
- Failure to provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities
- Terminating disability leave
- Firing, demotion, or other disciplinary action
- Changed compensation or assignments
If you are the victim of such discrimination or harassment, the first step to resolving the issue is to make a written complaint to your supervisor or the human resources department. This is an essential component in proving your case in court, should you need to take the matter to the judicial system for a resolution. If you need to file a lawsuit against your employer for discrimination or harassment, Addair Entsminger PLLC is here to guide you through the entire process.
Workplace Retaliation
You may be concerned that filing a complaint for workplace discrimination might get you fired or result in other negative consequences for your job. However, it is illegal for your employer to take such adverse action against you for filing this type of complaint if it is done in good faith. If they do, you could have a claim for retaliation.
Our attorneys have represented numerous clients who have been retaliated against for asserting their rights to be free from discrimination and harassment in the workplace. If you believe that your employer has retaliated against you for filing a complaint about a violation of your rights, reach out to our Charleston, WV employment law attorneys as soon as possible serving clients throughout Charleston, Huntington, Kanawha County, Putnam County, Cabell County, and all of West Virginia.
