RACE & COLOR DISCRIMINATION

Many employees have the right to work free from discrimination based on race and color.  This applies to all aspects of employment such as compensation, promotions, work conditions, and terminations.

Examples of Discrimination Because of Race or Color

  • Demotion or termination
  • Lower pay than peers
  • Less favorable work assignments or conditions
  • Scrutinizing work more closely than other employees despite good performance
  • Undermining managerial authority or span of control
  • Exclusion from important work activities
  • Disciplinary action or Performance Improvement Plans

Harassment

Many employers are also prohibited from harassing employees due to race or color.  Harassment is unwelcome treatment that is frequent or severe enough to alter work conditions and create a demeaning atmosphere.

Examples of Harassment

  • Isolation, exclusion, or work interference
  • Undermining authority or span of control
  • Humiliation
  • Threats
  • Slurs or name-calling
  • Sharing derogatory or inappropriate images
  • Inappropriate jokes or gestures
  • Other mistreatment

Retaliation

Many employers are further prohibited from penalizing employees for complaining about or opposing discrimination against themselves or others.  For more information, see Retaliation page.
