About Discrimination Claims
Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or applicant unfavorably because of a protected characteristic such as race, sex, age, disability, or religion. Federal laws including Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA prohibit workplace discrimination. These cases often involve claims of disparate treatment or disparate impact on protected groups.
