Unfair Promotion Practices and Limitation of Opportunities

One of the most fundamental forms of workplace discrimination involves “unfair treatment” because of an employee’s membership in a protected class. This often manifests as disparate treatment in promotions, opportunities, job responsibilities or hours. Common examples of such actions, which are illegal if based on an employee’s protected characteristics, include:


1. Involuntary reduction of hours

2. Assignment to undesirable or less-favorable shifts

3. Reassignment to a different department or location

4. Removal or limitation of job responsibilities

5. Exclusion from meetings or other communications

6. Denial of opportunities to work with certain clients

7. Assignment to less profitable territories

8. Patterns of people in specific groups who receive promotions over equally or more qualified workers

9. Inconsistent or unsupportable reasons given for denial of promotion or exclusion from opportunities
