Have You Been Discriminated Against At Work?
Federal and Pennsylvania state laws prevent job discrimination. The experienced lawyers at Brant & Associates use these laws to protect our clients' rights. When we take an employment law case, we take an in-depth look at the facts and laws and develop a case strategy for your unique situation.
There are many types of employment discrimination. At our greater Pittsburgh area law firm, we handle cases involving a broad range of discriminatory practices based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, pregnancy or age:
- Harassment by a boss or coworkers
- Retaliation against an employee for filing a complaint about discrimination, helping with an investigation or opposing employment discrimination in the workplace
- Wrongful termination/firing
- Denying a promotion or demoting an employee
- Denying access to training or apprenticeship programs
- Denying access to certain fringe benefits
How Can I be Sure it Was Employment Discrimination
It can be difficult to know for sure whether an act was employment discrimination. Sometimes workers just have a funny feeling that something wasn't right. Some were told that their position was eliminated, but saw that someone else was hired in their place. Other older employees were assigned difficult tasks they had never dealt with before, and then were fired when they couldn't complete the tasks.
Many employers try to argue that firings were because of poor job performance or changes in the marketplace. At Brant & Associates we review all employment records, interview coworkers and conduct a thorough investigation to get a better idea of what happened. We then use this information to build a solid employment discrimination case.
