Employer Discrimination

Employer discrimination occurs when an employer treats a job applicant or employee unfairly based on personal characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, or disability, rather than their skills or qualifications. This unfair treatment can influence hiring decisions, promotions, salary, or work environment, leading to unequal opportunities. Discrimination can be intentional, like outright bias, or unintentional, such as practices that inadvertently favor certain groups. Such behaviors undermine fairness in the workplace, hinder diversity, and may violate laws designed to promote equal employment opportunities.
