What Rights Does Honolulu’s Employment Law Provide Me?
Employment discrimination is not always obvious.
Employers sometimes try to disguise an illegal action behind false reasons. You are not expected to be aware of all of the complicated legislation, but businesses should be. Federal and State laws make it illegal for employers to treat applicants and employees unfairly based on:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Sex
- Nationality
- Disability
- Age
- Parental Status
According to Federal laws, illegal discrimination can occur at any stage of an employee’s journey, including:
- Hiring employees
- Firing employees
- Salary, pay and benefit decisions
- Job assignments
- Promotions
- Lay offs
- Training
- Any other term or condition of employment
What To Do If You Are Discriminated Against At Work
