What To Do If You’re Experiencing Race Discrimination at Work

Race discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee in a less-favorable manner than they would treat another employee. Employers tend to base this treatment on an employees race or skin color. If you’re a victim of race discrimination, you need to get legal assistance from an employment lawyer. The workplace should be a positive environment. If your employer is degrading you because of your race or ethnicity, the Law Office of Perry Pinon can help.

Race Discrimination is a Serious Offence

Even though there are rules and laws set in place to stop any kind of office discrimination, employers can still discriminate against an employee. This type of discrimination is actually illegal. Race discrimination can manifest in a variety of different ways. The most obvious one being during your day-to-day office life. If an employer disregards what you have to say or chooses to only treat other employees with respect, then the employer is at fault.

There are also more subtle instances where race discrimination can occur. From the hiring process to the firing process, it’s important to be on the look out for racist activities on behalf of employers. For example, if an employer chooses another, less qualified candidate over you, you can potentially sue the employer for race discrimination. The same can occur when an employer fires you. If you believe you didn’t do anything wrong and the firing came about as a surprise, then you may have been a victim of race discrimination. These cases may seem difficult to prove but that’s why lawyers exist.

Who Has to Pay for Race Discrimination?

Victims may fear the future, since going against an employer may result in termination. Thankfully, when you get legal assistance from an employment lawyer, you can rest easy. This is because lawyers only take your case if they know they can win it. In addition, upon winning the case, you will receive compensation as per the lawsuit. Your lawyer will take a percentage from this compensation. Basically, you never have to spend a single penny on lawyer’s fees. There is nothing to lose and much to gain. If you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you can fight. If you’re experiencing race discrimination, it’s time to get help. The Law Office of Perry Pinon is ready to take your case.
