To deter the employers from exercising discriminative acts to their employees, many labor decrees have been ratified by the Federal and State governments in the 1960?s. Such law provisions tackle most of the aspects which have great deal in the upholding of the workers? rights besides their personalities and work nature. These were subsequently followed by the promulgation of the employment discrimination law which aims to impede the employers to continue their illegal acts or else face the consequences of being penalized.
In prevailing U.S. Federal law, it is very much illegal for an employer to discriminate their employees on the sole basis of their workers? nationality, gender, race or religion. This applies to employers who have fifteen or more employees in his company. Such provisions can be seen in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which also hiders the employers to refuse from hiring applicants, impose unnecessary disciplinary acts, terminate, impede promotion, harass and pay much less salaries on the basis of the aforementioned. Much more, the law considers implementing policies which may cause impact or promote class separation among his workers. To site an example, it is illegal to impose penalties to those non-Christians who will not attend a monthly mass offering of the company.
Accordingly, employers may be given sanctions if proven culpable of exercising the following violations against their employees.
a. Age Discrimination or the violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) b. Sex Discrimination c. Equal Pay Discrimination or the violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (Equal Pay Act) d. Disability Discrimination or the violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) e. Nationality Discrimination or the violation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act f. Discrimination Against Religion
Although most States adapt different statutes regarding this employment issues, all these violation have their corresponding sanctions and penalties which may depend on the weight of the case. This is why the employees who believe that they have been victimized by their employers should make the necessary legal actions and file a case in the proper court. More so, to strengthen their chances of acquiring justice, the law provides the victims of a right to hire a legal counsel to help them out in pursuing their cases. As stated in the statistics, victims who acquire the professional assistance of a qualified and competent labor lawyer, who has the knowledge and expertise in handling employment disputes, have greater possibilities of obtaining at least their monetary claims from their employers. This may also prevent their employers from doing possible retaliations as the process of the case takes place.
