Employment Discrimination Law

Employment discrimination law prohibits treating employees or job applicants unfairly based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin. These laws ensure that all individuals have equal opportunities in hiring, promotions, wages, and working conditions. If someone believes they were discriminated against, they may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or pursue legal action. The goal is to create a fair workplace where decisions are based on merit rather than personal attributes unrelated to job performance.
