Federal, state, and local statutes, as well as public policy, prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of their national origin.
An employer cannot treat an employee or applicant adversely because of the employee's birthplace, ancestry, culture, linguistic characteristics common to a specific ethnic group, or accent.
This prohibition also protects an employee from being treated adversely because he or she is married or associated with persons of a national origin group; attends or participates in schools, churches, temples or mosques generally associated with a national origin group; or has a surname associated with a national origin group.
A complex interaction of federal, state, and local statutes create confusing filing requirements, deadlines and procedures which must be strictly followed before moving forward with a discrimination claim.
