Many civil rights laws affect virtually every employment decision. These laws include:

 

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 42 U.S.C. § 1981, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991
  • The Age Discrimination in Employment Act
  • The Americans with Disabilities Act
  • The Equal Pay Act
  • Other local, state and federal civil rights and anti-discrimination statutes such as the Pennsylvania
  • Human Relations Act and the Philadelphia Fair Practices Ordinance Act


Employers are not permitted to fire; fail to hire; ail to promote or give a pay increase to; verbally or physically harass; segregate or assign; or otherwise differentiate a person because of his or her race, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, ancestry, religion, disability, or national origin.

What Evidence Do I Need to Provide in a Wrongful Termination Case?

If you believe that your employer wrongfully terminated your employment, you need to jot down all the circumstances that led up to your firing. Warning signs, other layoffs, the reason your boss gave for firing you, any degrading or discriminatory language they used during the conversation, and any attempts you made to keep your job are all relevant to your case. You also will need to provide us with the amount of money you have lost due to losing your job and if your employer filled your position with a person whose qualifications were less than yours or was willing to take a lower salary. We will conduct a thorough investigation, explore your options, and pursue any possible legal action that can bring you justice.

What Constitutes a Successful Discrimination Case?

If you believe that an employer or potential employer has discriminated against you during the hiring, promotion, or termination process, you might have a case against them for discrimination. If your employer mentioned any references to your gender, marital status, national origin, race, age, parental status, disability, religion, military service status, or any other protected categories during the hiring process or in workplace practices, our employment discrimination attorney can help. While discrimination cases are challenging to prove, rest assured that we will leave no stone unturned to pursue justice on your behalf.
