Employment Discrimination Lawyers in PA
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) manages tens of thousands of workplace discrimination claims annually, and if you believe you may have a case, Weisberg Cummings, P.C. wants to help you get the compensation you may be entitled to. Our discrimination lawyers proudly serve employees throughout the entire state of Pennsylvania, doing our part to see that every employee is treated fairly.
Have Your Employment Rights Been Violated?
You may have a case if you have experienced these challenges in your workplace:
- Discrimination: The EEOC sets federal guidelines for all employers with at least 15 employees that outlaw discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex and disabilities. It also holds agencies with more than 20 employees accountable for age-based discrimination. Furthermore, Pennsylvania has its own anti-discrimination laws that apply to workplaces with at least four employees.
- Harassment: Employers are also required to refrain from harassing employees on the same bases of discrimination, including sex and race. Even comments that may be passed off as a “joke” have no place in the professional setting. Comments and physical actions that may make people of a certain demographic uncomfortable or feel unsafe can be subject to litigation.
- Exclusion: Even if there is no outright discrimination, it can be present in much subtler ways. Groups perceived as different from the majority may be excluded from certain higher-paying roles or alienated in social situations without a clear reason. Over time, this can lead to increased stress, anxiety and ultimately turnover.
- Retaliation: Making a claim or report about any of the above actions is your right. However, some employers may use it as an excuse to disrupt your work or even relieve you of your duties. If you experience retaliatory actions for filing a complaint, Weisberg Cummings wants to help make things right.
