A place of employment should be a place where each employee feels safe. Since the Civil War, laws have been in place to prevent discrimination, and as time goes on, more anti-discrimination legislation is added to the law to further protect marginalized groups. If you feel that your employer is on the wrong side of these laws, you need an employment lawyer.

At Marko Law, we are well-versed in the ins and outs of employment law for the Detroit, MI, area. We can help you get the compensation you deserve for any discrimination your employer has shown.

Types of Employment Law

Employment law can cover a number of different types of discrimination. The state of Michigan has deemed discrimination on the basis of color, race, national origin, height, weight, age, sex, genetic information, marital status, or religion illegal. Employers and potential employers also cannot discriminate based on an arrest record.

If you have reason to suspect that you’ve been discriminated against based on these attributes, you may have a case. Discrimination can take many forms. You may:

• Be denied membership in or get expelled from a union
• Be denied a potential job
• Be paid less for the same amount of work
• Be refused admittance to a training program
• Be harassed on the job
• Receive unequal treatment in your workplace
• Be denied a promotion you were more qualified for
• Be fired without a good reason
• Be denied appropriate representation if you filed a grievance
