Types Of Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination can manifest in several ways, each violating an individual’s rights differently. Below are some of the most common types:
- Age discrimination: This occurs when an employee is treated unfairly due to their age, mostly affecting older workers. This discrimination involves unfair hiring practices, termination or being passed over for promotions due to age biases.
- Race discrimination: This happens when employees face prejudice based on their race, ethnicity or national origin. It could involve unequal treatment in job assignments, promotions or compensation based on racial stereotypes.
- Gender discrimination: This type of discrimination involves mistreating someone due to their gender. It may include paying someone less for the same job or denying opportunities to advance because of gender-based biases.
- Pregnancy discrimination: It occurs when an employee is treated unfairly due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions. This can include being denied maternity leave or facing adverse treatment after informing an employer about a pregnancy.
- Disability discrimination: Employees with disabilities are protected by law from discrimination in the workplace. Discrimination occurs when an employee is mistreated because of a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
- Religious discrimination: This involves treating an employee unfairly because of their religious beliefs or practices. Employers are required by law to accommodate an employee’s religious needs unless it creates undue hardship for the business.
