Under Federal and Ohio state laws, workers have a number of rights and protections afforded to them. This includes protection from all forms of mistreatment or discrimination at work.
Federal and Ohio law prohibit employers from discriminating against current employees and job applicants based on a number of protected characteristics that include race, religion, age, sex and gender, disability, LGBTQ+, military status, and pregnancy.
Laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and others lay out the legal protections that workers receive such as not being wrongfully terminated, the right to a non-hostile work environment, and right to fair pay. Employers will often go out of their way to mask discriminatory or unlawful motives behind their employment decisions.
If you believe that you are facing workplace discrimination, harassment, unpaid wages, or other employment violations, our Columbus labor law attorneys are ready to apply their years of experience to helping you uncover the full situation.
We can determine next steps to take to prove the discrimination, harassment, or other employment wrongs.
