Race/Color Discrimination occurs when an employer takes an adverse employment action against an employee or job applicant because of that individual’s race. Common examples include:

– You apply for a job and are turned down. The employer refuses to explain why but you notice that the employer has only hired applicants who belong to the same racial group.
– Your employer announces layoffs for the company to begin next week. Only employees, or the vast majority of employees, laid off are of a certain racial group.
– You receive less compensation than other employees receive based on your race rather than your job performance, education, skills and training.
– You are repeatedly turned down for promotions that were given to less qualified employees of a different race.

Race discrimination is intolerable in the workplace and has been illegal for decades. If you feel you are experiencing differential treatment due to your race or color, please get in touch with Potter Handy – Employment Rights Law Firm. (858) 365-9722 https://potterhandyemployment.com/contact/
