Discrimination

In order to have a valid discrimination claim, an employer, generally, must take some tangible adverse employment action against an employee. This may include a termination, layoff, demotion, reduction in compensation or benefits, reassignment to lesser duties, or a failure to promote. Generally, a negative performance review or unreceptive treatment, without more, is insufficient. Moreover, an employer’s adverse employment action must be motivated by an employee’s protected class status.

Not only will we provide guidance on how to reduce those claims in number and severity through good policies and training, we are ready to handle those claims that do arise from the first report, through the investigation, through the EEOC, and all the way to resolution.
