Sexual Discrimination
Cincinnati Gender Discrimination Attorneys
Employees are protected by federal law from forms of gender discrimination and sexual harassment in the work place. At the law office of Robert Klingler, we investigate employers charged with gender discrimination in the workplace by consulting private investigators, forensic computer professionals, and handwriting experts in exposing discriminatory behavior directed against our client. Our lawyers subpoena emails, human resources records, memos, and other documentation pertinent to our client’s complaint and case. We interview co-workers and supervisors, identifying a pattern of behavior indicating the presence of sexual discrimination in hirings, firings, and promotions on the part of an employer.
We understand what federal law requires and how cases involving sex discrimination must be investigated. To schedule a confidential consultation to discuss your case, contact gender discrimination lawyers at the law office of Robert Klingler today.
Should I Contact the EEOC?
As soon as you believe you have been denied employment, a promotion, or are the target of harassment due to gender discrimination on the job, consult an attorney before contacting the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Since the EEOC is required to contact employers against whom a complaint has been filed, talking to the EEOC may result in your employer being tipped off before you’ve had a chance to gather incriminating evidence, save emails, and protect yourself legally.
Additionally, our attorneys can review the specifics of your case, the evidence involved, and determine how best to proceed. As your legal representation, we’re prepared to accompany you in meetings with EEOC officials and help you prepare documentation they may request from you. They can also advise you of filing deadlines on your case, to ensure you don't allow your right to sue to expire.
There’s no paper Trail -- do I have a Case?
While sexual discrimination may be hard to prove, it is also hard to hide. Employers who engage in gender discrimination often exhibit a pattern in promotions, hirings, and firings. Additionally, human resource records, computer email, and work history cannot hide a person’s performance – whether it deserves to be recognized or censured. When discrepancies exist between how a person is rewarded or treated at work and what their performance reviews indicate, investigation can often reveal double standards and discrimination.
Employer Liability – What’s in the Employee Handbook
If you believe you are experiencing gender discrimination in the workplace, read your employee handbook it you have one. While it is not, strictly speaking, a contract, courts often hold employers accountable when they violate the terms of their own employee handbook. If your employer failed to discipline discriminatory behavior on the part of your supervisor, if they didn’t handle your complaint according to their own stated policies, or if they ignored behavior their own handbook identifies as unacceptable, they could be financially liable.
