Connecticut Employment Discrimination

Hartford Employment Discrimination Attorneys

Discrimination is one of the biggest problems plaguing the work force. When an employee is the subject of discrimination, it not only affects his/her dignity and self-worth, but it can also affect his/her ability to efficiently perform his/her job duties. If you are a victim of discrimination at your workplace, you should consult with a knowledgeable Connecticut employment discrimination attorney about taking legal action. No one deserves to be discriminated against, and there is no reason good enough to warrant such behavior. If you have been discriminated against, we can help.

Federal and state employment laws protect all employees in the state of Connecticut from unlawful discrimination. Discrimination occurs when an employer makes decisions about an employee based on his/her personal characteristics. An employer can be sued for damages if he/she is found guilty of discriminating against an employee for the following reasons:

• Age
• Gender/Sex
• Religion
• Race
• Color
• National Origin
• Disability
• Pregnancy
• Sexual Orientation

At Cicchiello & Cicchiello, we have experience representing employees who have suffered from discriminatory treatment in the workplace with regards to:

• Hiring
• Firing
• Promotions
• Opportunities for growth or advancement
• Wage/salary considerations
• Job assignments
• Job transfers
• Comments made to the employee
• Job evaluations
• Employee privileges/benefits

If you have been subjected to discrimination in your place of employment, it is important to contact our experienced Hartford employment discrimination attorneys at soon as possible. We can help you file a claim against your employer, but you only have 180 days from the date of the incident to do so. Failure to file a claim with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may jeopardize your right to file a lawsuit in court, and consequently obtain monetary damages in the future.
