Employment discrimination can take many forms and vary in their application. For example, passing you over for a raise or promotion because of your race can for the basis for an employment discrimination claim. Likewise, not hiring you because you are female is also a form of discrimination. Some of the more common types of discrimination include the following:

• Age Discrimination
• Disability Discrimination

• Race/Racial Discrimination
• Religion-Religious Discrimination
• Sex Discrimination
