We Identify How Discrimination Impacts Workers

Actions that may signify discrimination based on a protected class, such as pregnancy, age, race, religion, disability, gender and more, include:

  • Terminating or laying off employees according to these classes
  • Classifying or separating employees based on these classes
  • Paying an employee less than their counterparts for similar work at a similar skill level, excluding seniority and merit-based differences
  • Refusing to hire or promote certain employees, including stating a preference against a particular class in a job advertisement
  • Allowing or contributing to the harassment of an employee

Discrimination is not always obvious at first. Furthermore, it involves complex federal and state laws. Arizona law does permit certain forms of discrimination when appropriate and necessary for the position. However, these exceptions are relatively narrow.

Understanding the Different Types of Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, and it's important to understand the different types so that you can recognize when it's happening to you.

  • Racial discrimination: Treating someone unfavorably because of their race or ethnicity.

  • Disability discrimination: Treating someone unfairly because of their physical or mental disability.
