Types of Discrimination
Unfortunately, there are a wide variety of factors that one can be discriminated against for. Examples include age, disability, and equal pay/compensation. There are policies in place that protect employees and patients against these types of discrimination, like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Rehabilitation Act for those with disabilities. In addition, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reviews job discrimination allegations based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), and genetic information.
Filing a Charge of Discrimination
If you feel that you have been discriminated against at work for anything listed previously like age, race, religion, etc, you can file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC. A charge of discrimination is a signed statement asserting that an employer, union, or labor organization engaged in employment discrimination. It requests EEOC to take remedial action. Furthermore, all of the laws enforced by EEOC, except for the Equal Pay Act, require you file a Charge of Discrimination before you can file a job discrimination lawsuit against your employer.
