If you think you may have been discriminated against at work or during the hiring process, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Cynthia N. Sass, P.A. will help you understand your rights and options, and, where the law allows, seek to bring your employer into compliance.

Understanding discrimination protections under the law

The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces certain federal employment laws. These laws prevent discrimination on the basis of religion, national origin, race, sex, age and physical disability. These laws usually apply to any employer with at least 15 employees, although the federal age discrimination law only constrains employers with 20 or more employees. In the year 2010, the EEOC received nearly 100,000 employment discrimination complaints. Additionally, Florida provides explicit protection against discrimination based on color or marital status. Our attorneys help workers file complaints with the proper state or federal authorities.
