Employment discrimination can take place by either a supervisor or coworker. It does not matter if the discrimination is coming from the supervisor or coworker, harassment such as ethnic slurs or any other verbal or physical conduct directed toward any racial, ethnic, or religious group is prohibited.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits an employer to discriminate in an employment setting on the basis of one’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or marital status. An employee or an applicant for employment may file a complaint when: a) the alleged discrimination act occurred within the past 365 days and 2) an employer or potential employer has 15 or more employees.

At the Law Offices of Alitowski and Moore, we understand that Florida employment discrimination can be very serious and mentally taxing. One would hope that the place where one works, where one spends 40-60 hours a week at, would be a pleasant and stable environment. Unfortunately, that is not always the case and in some circumstances, the workplace can be a brutal and horrible place to be. But, that does not mean that you have to quit or give up your job. Especially, if the hostile work environment or discrimination or harassment is not your fault. If not your fault, then you may be entitled to compensation for having to suffer through such a horrible work experience.

If at your workplace you feel you are being discriminated against based on any type of discrimination, please call the Law Offices of Alitowski and Moore at 888-ASK-ANDREW. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer any questions you may have.
