Laws have been passed under both North Carolina and federal governments which prohibit discriminating on the basis of specified protected characteristics. Depending on what type of trait prompted the discriminatory treatment, government employers and even private organizations in Wilmington may be held liable under various state and federal laws.

How Does Employment Discrimination Occur?

Employment discrimination can occur if the employer treats an employee unfairly based on their membership in a category that is legally protected. Race, gender, religion, familial status and national origin are examples of some traits that employers can not use when evaluating you. In Wilmington, North Carolina, in order to succeed on an employment discrimination claim, the plaintiff must show that the employer's intent in treating them differently was based on the protected status.

How can Employment Discrimination be Proven in North Carolina?

This may be shown if the employer has treated others of the same status similarly, or when people testify to particular statements made by the employer that would indicate bias when heard by a reasonable person. Furthermore, employers who fire someone or retaliate against them for bringing a discrimination lawsuit are clearly in violation of the law.

Pursuing an employment discrimination claim can often be complicated, because they involve filing your claim with specific agencies. An Wilmington, North Carolina attorney can help you file on time, as well as pursue any further remedies that may be available to you while your case is pending.
