Types of Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination in the workplace can manifest in various ways, impacting employees based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and more. Understanding these forms of discrimination is the first step toward recognizing and addressing them:
- Race Discrimination: This involves treating employees unfavorably because of their race or characteristics associated with race. It can include biased hiring practices, unequal pay, and harassment.
- Gender Discrimination: Occurs when employees are treated unfairly based on their gender. This includes disparities in promotions, salary, and job assignments.
- Age Discrimination: Targets employees based on their age, particularly those over 40. It can involve biased hiring practices, forced retirement, or denial of opportunities.
- Disability Discrimination: Involves unfair treatment of employees with disabilities. This can include not providing reasonable accommodations or treating disabled employees differently.
- Sexual Orientation Discrimination: Occurs when employees are treated unfairly based on their sexual orientation. This can involve harassment, unequal benefits, or discriminatory policies.
Legal Protections Against Discrimination
Employees in Boston are protected by both federal and Massachusetts state laws. These laws ensure that employees have a right to work in an environment free from discrimination and harassment:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
- Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act: Offers additional protections, including against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability.
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA): Protects employees over the age of 40 from age-based discrimination.
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities and prohibits discrimination based on disability.
