We will go over your case with you and help you decide if you should pursue a claim. We will help you fight for your rights.
There are a variety of types of discrimination that occur in the workplace in Missouri, but below are 7 of the most common:
It is a violation of the Missouri Human Rights Act (“MHRA”) and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for an employer to discriminate against an employee based upon their race. Unfortunately, while we all want to live in a society where race does not matter, we are not there yet, especially in the workplace.
Like racial discrimination, MHRA and the Civil Rights Act protects persons of color. The term “color” is defined as an individual’s complexion, shade/tone, or skin pigmentation.
National Origin Discrimination
An employer is prohibited from discriminating against employees based upon their national origin, which includes their place of birth, their accent, or even if they are married to or partners with somebody of a certain national origin.
Although women have come a long way in the workplace, discrimination based upon gender still frequently occurs. However, discrimination based on sex also includes a person’s gender identity, sexual orientation, or pregnancy. Additionally, the victim and the harasser may be the same sex or different sex.
Employees over the age of 40, employed by private employers with a minimum of 20 employees, are prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1976 are protected from workplace discrimination based solely on age. Age discrimination occurs when you are not hired, promoted, or you are fired because of your age.
The MHRA and Title VI protects employees from religious discrimination in the workplace. If your religion has certain requirements and your employer refuses to make reasonable accommodations, you may have a claim of religious discrimination. A few examples of failing to make reasonable religious accommodations are refusing to give short breaks for prayer time, refusal to give time off for religious holidays, or failing to grant exceptions to the dress code or grooming requirements.
Disability Discrimination Workers with disabilities are protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 from discrimination in the workplace. An employer must also provide reasonable accommodations to allow a disabled person to perform his or her job duties.
What can a Victim of Discrimination Recover?

Ubaguzi wa kazi katika Missouri bado ni tatizo kubwa katika jimbo letu na nchi. Kama ubaguzi ni msingi wa jamii, dini, jinsia, umri, au jamii nyingine ya ulinzi, unapaswa si kusita kushauriana na ujuzi na kujitolea sheria ya ajira wanasheria. Tutazungumzia kesi yako na kukusaidia kuamua ikiwa unapaswa kufuata madai. Tutakusaidia kupigania haki zako. Kuna aina mbalimbali za ubaguzi unaotokea katika mahali pa kazi huko Missouri, lakini hapa chini ni saba ya kawaida: Ni ukiukaji wa Sheria ya Haki za Binadamu ya Missouri (MHRA) na Kichwa VI cha Sheria ya Haki za Kiraia ya 1964 kwa mwajiri kubaguzi dhidi ya mfanyakazi kulingana na jamii yao. """Kwa bahati mbaya, wakati sisi sote tunataka kuishi katika jamii ambapo jamii haina maana, hatujafika bado, hasa katika mahali pa kazi." Kama ubaguzi wa rangi, MHRA na Sheria ya Haki za Kiraia hulinda watu wa rangi. Neno "rangi" linafafanuliwa kama complexion ya mtu binafsi, kivuli / sauti, au rangi ya ngozi. Mwajiri hawezi kutofautisha wafanyakazi kwa sababu ya asili yao ya kitaifa, ambayo inajumuisha mahali pa kuzaliwa, lafudhi yao, au hata ikiwa wameolewa au wanashirikiana na mtu wa asili fulani ya kitaifa. Ingawa wanawake wamepita njia ndefu katika mahali pa kazi, ubaguzi unaotegemea jinsia bado hutokea mara nyingi. Hata hivyo, ubaguzi kulingana na jinsia pia ni pamoja na utambulisho wa jinsia ya mtu, mwelekeo wa kijinsia, au ujauzito. Kwa kuongezea, mhasiriwa na mhasiriwa waweza kuwa wa jinsia moja au wa jinsia tofauti. Wafanyakazi wenye umri wa zaidi ya miaka 40 wanaofanywa kazi na waajiri wa kibinafsi wenye wafanyikazi wa chini ya 20, wanahifadhiwa na Sheria ya Ubaguzi wa Umri katika Ajira ya 1976 na wanahifadhiwa kutoka kwa ubaguzi wa kazi kulingana na umri tu. Ubaguzi wa umri hutokea wakati wewe si kuajiriwa, kupandishwa cheo, au wewe ni kufukuzwa kwa sababu ya umri wako. Sheria ya Usalama wa Watu na Usalama wa Jamii (MHRA) inawalinda wafanyakazi dhidi ya ubaguzi wa kidini mahali pa kazi. Ikiwa dini yako ina mahitaji fulani na mwajiri wako anakataa kufanya marekebisho ya busara, unaweza kuwa na madai ya ubaguzi wa kidini. Mifano ya kutofanya marekebisho ya kidini ni kukataa kutoa mapumziko mafupi kwa ajili ya wakati wa sala, kukataa kutoa muda wa likizo kwa ajili ya sikukuu za kidini, au kukosa kutoa ubaguzi kwa kanuni ya mavazi au mahitaji ya kujipamba. Wenye ulemavu ni walemavu, na wanalindwa na Sheria ya Wamarekani wenye Ulemavu ya 1990 dhidi ya ubaguzi katika mahali pa kazi. Mwajiri lazima pia kutoa marekebisho ya busara ili kuruhusu mtu mlemavu kutekeleza majukumu yake ya kazi. Mhasiriwa wa Ubaguzi Anaweza Kupata Nini? Wakati mfanyakazi anathibitisha yeye au yeye alikuwa mhasiriwa wa ubaguzi mahali pa kazi, mbalimbali ya uharibifu inaweza kuwa recoverable dhidi ya mwajiri. Mfano wa uharibifu ambao mara nyingi hutolewa kwa wafanyikazi ni malipo ya nyuma, kurudishwa kwa kazi yako, malipo ya mbele au hata uharibifu wa adhabu. Baada ya kushauriana na mmoja wa wanasheria wetu wa ubaguzi wa mahali pa kazi, tunaweza kuelezea uharibifu unaoweza kupatikana kwa madai yako ya ubaguzi.
