Discrimination

North Carolina Employment Discrimination Lawyer

North Carolina is an at-will employment state, meaning employment can be terminated at any time, with or without reason by the employer or the employer. That said, you have a right to work in an environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and verbal abuse.

If you believe you have a valid discrimination claim against your employer, please contact Charlotte employment law attorney J. Neal Rodgers to discuss your case.

What constitutes employment discrimination?

It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or national origin. Discrimination can come in many forms, such as:

• Verbal abuse and harassment
• Failure to promote
• Demotion
• Salary discrimination
• Termination

What can I do if I have been discriminated against?

If you believe you are a victim of employment discrimination, it is important to review your employment manual. Generally, procedures are set forth for reporting instances of discrimination. You should physically keep track and report any instances of harassment or discrimination according to the guidelines in the employee handbook. This will help prove your case should a lawsuit be necessary.

If following the reporting procedures does not result in a change in behavior -- if discrimination continues or if you are wrongfully terminated as a result of discrimination -- you should speak with an experienced discrimination employment law attorney.
