In New York City, employment discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfavorably because of his or her race, skin color, national origin, gender (including gender identity), pregnancy, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, alienage or citizenship status, marital status/partnership status, status as a veteran or active military service member, arrest or conviction record, caregiver status, credit history, unemployment status, salary history, and status as a victim of domestic violence, stalking, and sex offenses. It is illegal to discriminate in any facet of employment. As a result, workplace discrimination extends beyond hiring and firing to discrimination that can happen to someone who is currently employed.

Recognizing Workplace Discrimination
How do you know if you have a workplace discrimination legal claim? Unfortunately, workplace discrimination is often difficult to spot. Very rarely will an employer admit to taking an action for discriminatory reasons. It is important to understand what evidence can be used to file an employment discrimination claim so that you can spot discrimination when it occurs in your own workplace. There are three types of employment discrimination evidence: disparate treatment evidence, disparate impact evidence, and harassment evidence.
Disparate treatment occurs when an employer directly discriminates against an employee, and as a result, the employee is either not hired, fired, not promoted, or the employee encounters some other negative consequence. To find evidence of disparate treatment, it is important to record conversations, discuss the situation with your co-workers, and read between the lines to help you determine your employer’s real motive.
Does it seem as though your workplace is homogeneous or that certain groups of similar people receive all of the promotions and pay-raises? Disparate impact discrimination may be occurring at your workplace. Disparate impact discrimination occurs when an employer’s facially neutral policy or practice results in statistical discrimination among different types of employees.
Harassment occurs when an employer’s or a co-worker’s actions cause either physical, mental, or emotional harm to an employee in some way. The most commonly discussed form of harassment is sexual harassment, which can come in the form of either lewd jokes, offensive comments, or sexual assault. Other forms of harassment such as racial harassment are also commonplace and take the form of hazing environments or the use of racial slurs.

Hired Yuri to help me through coop purchase process. Yuriy and his staff answered all my questions promptly, I've had attorneys in the past that once paid would take their time and de prioritize your mails, etc..Not the case here. My initial purchase wound up folding week before scheduled closing date due to seller negligence. Almost a year later, I received same level of effort from Yuriy second time around, closed, and am very happy with professionalism and expertise provided.
