What is Employment Discrimination?

Employment discrimination is illegal in virtually every aspect of the employment relationship, including:

• Hiring - Job descriptions, interviews, and screening processes

• Promotions & Bonuses - Unfair advancement decisions based on protected characteristics

• Termination & Layoffs - Wrongful termination or discriminatory layoffs

• Compensation & Benefits - Unequal pay or denial of benefits based on protected status

• Training & Work Assignments - Exclusion from opportunities based on race, gender, or disability

• Workplace Harassment - Hostile work environment, sexual harassment, and retaliation

Washington State Employment Discrimination Law

Washington's Law Against Discrimination (WLAD), RCW 49.60, prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, national origin, veteran status, or physical or mental disability. The WLAD mirrors the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) and provides broad protections for Washington State employees against workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Why You Need an Experienced Employment Discrimination Attorney

Workplace discrimination and harassment can be stressful, humiliating, and devastating to your career. Employers frequently fail to respect employee civil rights, and without experienced legal representation, your rights may go unprotected. Important: Employment discrimination claims are subject to strict statutes of limitations. Waiting too long to act could cost you the right to pursue your claim.
