National origin discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfavorably because of their country of birth, ancestry, culture, or accent. This includes not only employees but also job applicants who may face discrimination during the hiring process. This includes discrimination based on perceived national origin or association with a particular ethnic group.
Common examples of national origin discrimination in the workplace include:
It is important to note that national origin discrimination can often overlap with racial discrimination, both of which are equally unlawful.
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, discrimination based on national origin is illegal. The law prohibits discrimination based on national origin, ancestry, birthplace, culture, and native language. This law protects employees from being treated differently because of their country of origin or cultural characteristics. It also prohibits harassment and retaliation for reporting discrimination.
The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act provides further protection against national origin discrimination in employment. This state law also applies to employers with four or more employees, as opposed to Title VII which only applies to those with 15 or more. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces these laws and provides a process for filing claims and seeking remedies.
Proving national origin discrimination can be challenging, as it often involves subtle or hidden forms of bias and unfair treatment. Our team will thoroughly investigate your case and gather evidence to support your national origin discrimination claim. This may include witness testimony, documentation of discriminatory practices, and other relevant information. We will also work with expert witnesses if necessary to strengthen your case.
If you believe you have been a victim of national origin discrimination, it is important to document any incidents and report them to a supervisor or human resources department. It is also crucial to seek legal advice from an experienced discrimination lawyer who can guide you through the process and protect your rights.
