Protected Classes & Discrimination

The law recognizes many types of discrimination, any of which can create a hostile work environment. A person may claim discrimination based on the following:

• Age
• Race
• Disability
• Gender
• Ethnic background
• Religious beliefs
• Sexual orientation
• Political beliefs
• Nationality
• Pregnancy

If you feel you were not treated equally in regard to being hired, compensated, promoted, fired, or laid off, you may be a victim of unlawful employment discrimination. If you complain about discrimination, and you experience retaliation, you are also the victim of unlawful discrimination and you should consult with an attorney from Pearson Butler as soon as possible.

Employer Discrimination Claims in Utah

Reporting discrimination to your employer is critical. Be sure to follow company policy and procedure in reporting all workplace discrimination or retaliation you encounter. This is true even if you feel your complaint would be futile. If there isn’t a company policy or procedure, be sure to complain to your direct supervisor or someone with management level authority. When you report discrimination, it is also important to document your complaints and detail who you spoke to, when you spoke to them, and exactly what you spoke about.

Discrimination Investigation

After your report, your employer should conduct an immediate investigation into your complaint and is supposed to take appropriate action to resolve the situation. If your employer does not resolve the situation, or if you face retaliation because of your complaint, contact an attorney at Pearson Butler immediately. At Pearson Butler, our discrimination lawyers in Utah understand that not all employers will do the right thing when faced with discrimination claims and stand ready to help protect your rights, your career, and your financial stability.
