Why You Need Our Help Dealing With Harassment

And Discrimination

Discrimination is acts based on illegal prejudice that affect the terms and conditions of

your employment. Examples are: (i) refusal to hire, reducing hours or pay; (ii) denial of

training, transfer or promotion opportunities; (iii) unequal pay for equal work; (iv)

demotion or termination; and (iv) exclusion.

Harassment is acts based on illegal prejudice that do not directly relate to the terms and

conditions of your employment. Examples - derogatory jokes, threats of violence,

intimidation, insults, and expressions of disgust or intolerance toward a legally protected

group or those associated with that group.

While being a bad boss is not illegal, you are legally protected against unfair standards,

demotions, reduced hours or pay, or termination motivated by prejudice. Prejudice is

illegal when based on race, religion, gender, gender expression, national origin, military

service, pregnancy, disability, short-term illness, taking protected leave or questioning

potentially illegal conduct by your employer.

Your employer has already made up their mind about you. Sadly, bad bosses routinely

deny everything and blame the victim. You will need to document your concerns in

writing as soon as possible. We can help you say what needs to be said, while

maximizing your legal protection from retaliation.

Your emotional pain is real. We help hurt people share their experience in a way others

and physical health, while we work to set things right. For us, legal proceedings are a
