Employers can unlawfully discriminate based on many protected characteristics, including religion. Religious discrimination happens when an employer treats an applicant or employee unfairly due to their religious beliefs. Unfair treatment can involve adverse employment decisions, policies that impact certain employees differently, etc.

Gender discrimination occurs when an employer treats employees differently than others because of their gender or related factors. “Gender” is a wide umbrella in discrimination matters, and it became even more so in recent years. The following are some factors that might play a role in gender discrimination at work.

When you are laid off or terminated from a job, your employer might choose to offer you a severance package, which includes a monetary payment in exchange for relinquishment of some of your legal rights. Most of these agreements will restrict your ability to pursue future legal action against your employer or limit how you can publicly speak about your job or the company.
