Lancaster Disability Discrimination Attorneys
Several decades ago, federal lawmakers put Title VII into place with the intent of reducing or eliminating the injustice of employment discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, disability and sex orientation. However, despite these laudable congressional efforts, employment discrimination remains prevalent in today’s working world.
To learn how to assert your rights in the face of employment discrimination, please contact Clymer & Musser, P.C. in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Documentation, Eyewitnesses, Reporting Requirements
Please be aware that employment discrimination charges are challenging to prove and often require either written documentation or credible eyewitness accounts. However, there are steps you can take to prepare for a potential lawsuit provided you follow proper protocol for reporting wrongdoings, such as sexual harassment and hostile work environment incidents. A consultation with an experienced employment law attorney can serve to protect you from any retaliation that may occur if you file a complaint with your employer and/or the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission).
Employment At-Will
Relevant facts that you may wish to know in light of your potential employment discrimination claim include:
- The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is an "at-will" employment state; in other words, either you or your employer can terminate the employee-employer relationship without cause.
- The "at-will" provisions of employment law in Pennsylvania do not mean that an employer can fire you in a blatant exercise of racial discrimination, age discrimination, gender discrimination or retaliation after you have reported discriminatory actions.
Please note, our lawyers at Clymer & Musser, P.C. also handle discrimination cases that do not involve employment, such as those stemming from a lack of legally required public accommodations for the disabled or others. Please contact our firm to schedule a consultation today.
