Your Work is What Matters.
Being Fired for Race or Origin is Illegal.

Losing your job is hard. Feeling like it was because of your race, skin color, or national origin is devastating. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects you from this discrimination. Let's explore your rights.

01

Disparate Treatment

You were held to a higher standard or disciplined for minor issues, while white colleagues made the same mistakes without consequences.
02

Pretextual Firing

You were terminated for a vague reason like “not a culture fit," but you were the only or one of very few employees of your race or national origin on the team.
03

Hostile Work Environment

You endured offensive “jokes," slurs, or biased comments about your race or origin. You reported it, but nothing was done, and you were fired.

Answering your Questions

Understanding Your Rights

Navigating your rights under Title VII can feel overwhelming. This form of discrimination is often subtle and hidden. Our Free Leverage Assessment is built to clarify your situation.

Q: What is Title VII?

A. It's a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. This applies to firing, hiring, pay and promotions.

Q: What is a “pretext" for firing?

A. It's a false reason given by an employer to hide the real, illegal reason. For example, claiming “poor performance" right after you complained about discrimination.

Your Title VII Checklist Can Help:

Were you treated differently than colleagues of another race?
Did you hear biased comments about your race, accent, or national origin?
Were you fired after complaining about discrimination or a hostile work environment?
Were you the only person of your race or origin in your role or department?
Was the reason for your firing vague or factually unture?
