Understanding Workplace Discrimination Definitions

The law clearly defines the elements of age, race, and gender discrimination, but proving such discrimination can be challenging in certain cases.

Therefore, it is crucial to maintain records and documents that detail the discriminatory behavior and actions you have experienced. The more evidence you gather, the stronger your case becomes.

Here are the definitions of workplace discrimination:

Age Discrimination

If you have been denied a promotion or replaced by a younger, less experienced employee, you may be a victim of age discrimination. Similarly, employers who favor younger workers over older employees in hiring decisions may be violating laws against age discrimination.

Race Discrimination

Unfair treatment based on physical characteristics, language, culture, or ancestry may indicate racial discrimination. Certain questions on job applications can reveal bias, as can the refusal to promote someone because of their race.

Gender Discrimination

If you are a woman who has been paid less than male counterparts for performing the same tasks, you could be a victim of gender discrimination. Gender discrimination also encompasses being overlooked for positions or advancement opportunities given to male colleagues despite having equivalent qualifications. Furthermore, sexual harassment constitutes a form of gender discrimination. Both men and women can experience gender discrimination, although it is more prevalent among female employees.

Other Forms of Workplace Discrimination Include:

  • Pregnancy discrimination
  • Religious discrimination
  • Disability discrimination
