This firm cares and knows how to properly assess the merits of your case. I know because I'm an attorney. I had retainer agreement offers from 4 other firms and Ricotta was my 1st choice based on their belief in my case and fair terms.

What Is Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly due to personal characteristics protected by law.
Discrimination can show up in many ways. It might involve refusing to hire someone, firing them, denying them promotions, or creating a hostile work environment for them. It can also involve paying employees differently for the same work based on these protected traits.
It is important to note that it's illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for reporting discrimination.

What To Do If You Experience Workplace Discrimination
Even though employers should have clear policies against discrimination, it unfortunately still happens. If you're facing harassment or discrimination at work, it's important to take action to protect your rights.
Here are some steps you can consider:
- Seek legal assistance: Contact an employment discrimination attorney to discuss your situation and understand your legal options. An attorney can advise you on the best course of action and protect your rights.
- Report it internally: If you feel comfortable, report the discrimination to your supervisor, human resources department, or another designated person in your workplace. Your company may have internal procedures for addressing complaints.
- File a complaint with a government agency: You can file a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or another relevant agency. These agencies investigate discrimination claims and may take legal action on your behalf.
