discriminatory promotion
California protects race, gender, religion, and other attributes. As an employee, you’re lucky that you have rights that protect you. California lawyers who specialize in employment law explain how to figure out if you were unfairly passed over for a promotion and what you can do to protect your rights.
What Does Discrimination in Promotion Mean?
Promotion discrimination is a type of discrimination in the workplace that happens when an employee is passed over for a promotion for a reason that is against the law.If an employee is not promoted because of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, or age, the company is in violation of the law.
Identifying Discrimination in the Workplace:
There are a few key things to look for to figure out if discrimination is happening:
Have you got the skills to do the job you didn’t get? If you meet all of the requirements for the job, discrimination is more likely to have been a factor.
Do you know of anyone who got a promotion before you?If they don’t have the same qualifications as you or belong to a different protected group, that could be evidence of discrimination. .
Does your management justify your demotion? If they gave you a reason that has nothing to do with your skills or performance, that could be unfair.
