Federal law prohibits an employer from treating any employee or applicant less favorably based solely on race. Common situations where racial discrimination manifests itself include:
Hiring Practices and Promotion: Were you denied a promotion or even an initial hiring opportunity because the interview panel predetermined the outcome in favor of a lesser qualified individual?
Jokes, Stories, and Comments. Do your management team or coworkers routinely engage in racially offensive jokes and stories? Does it continue even after you have asked that it stop?
Constructive Resignation. Have you been subjected to a severe single incident or a sustained pattern of racial discrimination so egregious that you felt compelled to resign from your position?
Equal Pay. Are you paid less than an equally or less qualified individual of a different race?
