Know Your Employment Rights in Michigan
What Is Title VII?
Our attorneys are thoroughly versed in the Civil Rights Act and how it pertains to employment discrimination, and we are skilled at utilizing them to file effective claims on our client’s behalf. Title VII is the name of the federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on any of the following items:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Gender
- National Origin
In addition to these provisions, Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees due to age, weight, height, marital status, or arrest record. Together, these two laws help to protect employees from a variety of victimizing actions in the workplace such as:
- Not making reasonable accommodations for employees desiring to observe a religious holiday, dress in religious attire, or participate in religious practices.
- Firing or retaliating against workers because they have filed discriminatory claims or complained about mistreatment related to discrimination.
- Basing decisions and actions towards an employee based on the race or national origin of their spouse or friends.
- Dividing workers or assigning them based on their race or skin color
Despite the immense social progress made in the United States, employment discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, and national origin is still common within companies. Employees who feel that they have become victims of racial and religious discrimination or that they were treated unfairly because of their sex or national origin should immediately seek the services of an employment discrimination attorney in Royal Oak, MI. The attorneys at Just Right Law are devoted to helping individuals learn more about the rights they have and the resources available to them should they decide to take action against their employers.
