Have you lost out in your job because of suspected discrimination?
Being denied a position because of age, color, or race is a clear-cut and obvious case of workplace discrimination. However, it should be remembered that employers can discriminate against you based on a variety of factors in a variety of circumstances.
It may be just a feeling that you are being treated differently to coworkers in your organization or that the workplace culture is not right. Your complaint could be because of one type of discrimination or several at the same time.
For example, an employee who is given a lower rate of pay than a coworker because of suspected discrimination against his or her gender, country of origin, religious beliefs, and race.
Whatever the type of discrimination, it could negatively impact your:
Career
Income or finances
Wellbeing
Mental health
You have a right to stand up against this and report it – even if you are fearful that you might lose your job. Remember, the law protects you from retaliation by an employer so they cannot fire you for making a claim or complaint.
