What is Employment Discrimination?

Employment discrimination refers to unfair or unequal treatment of employees based on certain protected characteristics such as race, sex or age. Both state and federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on these traits. Discrimination can manifest in various forms, including wrongful termination, denial of promotions and unequal pay.

Types of Employment Discrimination

• Race Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on an employee’s race or ethnicity.
• Gender Discrimination: Discrimination against employees based on their gender or sexual orientation.
• Age Discrimination: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects employees aged 40 and above from age-related discrimination.
• Disability Discrimination: Discriminating against employees with disabilities, including failure to provide reasonable accommodations.
• Pregnancy Discrimination: Unfair treatment of employees due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions.

Employer Obligations

Employers are required by law to provide a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. This includes taking proactive steps to prevent discriminatory practices, providing equal opportunities for all employees, and addressing any complaints of discrimination promptly and effectively. Employers who fail to meet these obligations can be held accountable under state and federal laws.

Employees’ Rights

As an employee, you have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination. If you believe you have been subjected to discriminatory practices, it is crucial to understand your rights:

• Right to File a Complaint: You can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Ohio Civil Rights Commission if you experience discrimination.
• Right to a Hostile-Free Work Environment: Employers must prevent and address hostile work environments characterized by ongoing harassment or discriminatory behavior.
• Protection Against Retaliation: Employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees who file discrimination complaints or participate in investigations.
