Unlawful workplace discrimination occurs when an employer acts adversely against a person because of certain attributes of that person – such as race, age, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or religion.
This can include full-time, part-time and freelance employees, probationary employees, interns and trainees, and individuals who are employed for a certain period of time.
Harassment is a legal term and can refer to actions such as firing someone; 'hurt them in their work'; and change their position to their prejudice, which is against the law if taken for certain reasons.
What to do if you feel you have been thoroughly discriminated against?
It is important to first raise the issue directly with your Manager and if that doesn't work, seek professional advice.
