How Do I Know If I Have Been Sexually Discriminated Against?

Sexual discrimination is not always easy to identify and even more difficult to prove. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sex-based discrimination as treating someone unfairly as a result of their sex identification or sexual orientation. There are a variety of methods by which a person can be discriminated against:

• Terms of work
• Benefits
• Training
• Discharges
• Promotions
• Job assignment
• Settlement
• Hiring and firing

Sexual discrimination also includes harassment, which includes any type of unwanted sexual contact, verbal harassment, or requests for sex-related favors. Sadly, a lot of people do not report sex-related discrimination when it occurs. Regardless, those that commit this type of discrimination or harassment need to be held accountable for their actions.

Sexual Discrimination Cases We Handle

Sex-related discrimination cases are both complex and delicate. Although you want justice served, you may be worried about your case going public. At Marko Law, we deal with these sorts of claims with sensitivity and discretion. We have a highly proficient legal team that knows how to handle and win your case. We handle a variety of sexual discrimination cases such as:

‍Sexual Harassment

‍Sexual harassment can involve any unwanted physical or verbal action toward a coworker or employee. It involves requesting sex-related favors or similar conduct, whether the conduct is explicit or suggested. Our legal team works with victims that have experienced any type of sexual harassment no matter the circumstances.

Hiring and Firing

An employer may work with or fire you just because of your sex. Even if you show that you can do a job, you might be ignored because you're not the 'ideal' sex. If so, you can assess your case to determine how you were discriminated against. You can not be refused employment opportunities on the basis of sex.

Compensation and Benefits

You may have the same job summary, qualifications, and experience as another person. However, they earn greater pay or better benefits since they are of different sex. We might be able to establish that your pay is decreased due to your sex. Professional Defamation Discrimination can result in long-lasting damage and can even prevent you from progressing in your profession. You may get a negative recommendation or be the victim of a false rumor. When you are treated unfairly it could be you-- not the at-fault party-- who suffers the consequences. Nevertheless, due to your sex, your reputation is sullied, making it difficult to move forward in your career.

Hostile Work Environment

Are you being bothered at the workplace? Are you the target of consistent harmful jokes, slurs, or comments? Those that verbally attack you cause awkwardness in the workplace and create a hostile work environment. You do not have to tolerate harassment if it affects your job performance or personal well-being.

Damages in a Sexual Discrimination Case

Sex-related discrimination can have serious economic, professional, and psychological effects that impact virtually every aspect of your life. Our legal team considers how you were affected by discrimination when reviewing your case. You could be entitled to recoup losses such as:

• Lost pay, benefits, or other payment
• The cost of finding a new job
• Damages associated with a breach of work
• Counseling or therapy for emotional distress
• Damage to your credibility

If the defendant's actions were intentional or malicious, you could also be able to pursue punitive damages. Our objective is to get you the greatest payment possible based on your economic and non-economic losses.
