Hiring a Phoenix Employment Lawyer
Federal and state labor law is supposed to ensure that employees are treated fairly by employers. Sadly, it doesn’t always happen. Many employees are afraid to talk with a Phoenix employment lawyer. They don’t want to lose their job. They want to make sure they can find work in the future. The bills certainly don’t stop coming in if you’re wrongfully terminated or if you’re forced to leave because of unchecked harassment. If you believe that your employer may have violated federal or state law, contact a Phoenix employment lawyer to discuss your potential claim.

Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination covers a wide set of actions. It can involve hiring or firing how job assignments are made, how much employees are paid, how promotions are given or denied, opportunities for training, and available fringe benefits. Discrimination can be a violation of federal and state law.
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, workers are protected from discrimination based on their sex, race, color, national origin, or religion if the employer has 15 or more employees. Employers may not refuse to hire or fire someone or discriminate against them (including their pay, conditions of employment, benefits, and privileges) based on those five protected classes. They also may not segregate or otherwise classify an employee to deny them employment opportunities or to otherwise impact their status as an employee.
If you have been the victim of employee discrimination, don’t wait to contact a Phoenix employment lawyer to learn more about your potential claim.
