This looks like discrimination. And we’re here to help you restore justice: the average compensation for discrimination at work is around $40,000.

We are sorry to hear that you had to go through this. According to Nasdaq research, 55% of American workers have experienced discrimination, which is more than 87 million people. This is a common problem that we are fighting together. Based on your answers, you faced prejudice at work based on your characteristics. Protected characteristics include race, color, sex, religion, gender, age (40 and older), sexual orientation, disability, national origin, and pregnancy.  If this is correct, you are entitled to compensation. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), US employers pay more than $595.9 million a year in compensation for employment discrimination complaints, and the average compensation is around $40,000. However, only about 17.4% of submitted complaints are approved. Therefore, finding a competent lawyer to help you draft the documents is essential. How to protect your rights in case of discrimination: First, we recommend you immediately share this incident with people you trust. It can be your family members, friends, or loved ones. Secondly, you can file a discrimination complaint with EEOC. It is possible to do this online, in person at an EEOC Office, by telephone, or by mail. Please note that if you are a federal employee or job applicant, you need to file a Charge of Discrimination within 45 calendar days from the day the discrimination took place. You can learn more about the process for federal workers here. After a complaint with EEOC, you can file a job discrimination lawsuit against your employer. If an employer has discriminated against a group of employees, you may file an employment class action, which can result in a higher payout. We advise you to hire a competent lawyer to prepare a lawsuit.If you also want to know how to protect your rights in case of harassment, we recommend you visit the Allrights service for people who have experienced harassment: https://allrights.us/harassment.
