When you were struggling with a hernia, you thought you had no choice but to go through surgery. You had a surgical hernia mesh implanted, and that helped for a long time. Unfortunately, there were complications that developed later on.
Hernia mesh complications can be devastating and lead to significant pain and infection. Without treatment, some complications could be fatal.
All employees have a right to be treated fairly in the workplace. They should be judged only on their competencies regarding their ability to do the job that they have been hired to do, rather than any other irrelevant factor.
Therefore, a person's gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, national origin or disabilities should never be factors when an employer makes the decision to hire or fire someone. The following is an overview of your protections from national origin discrimination as an employee or a prospective employee.
It's illegal for workers in the United States to be discriminated against because of their religion. Freedom of religion means that you have the right to be able to practice your personal religious beliefs without having to suffer discrimination or harassment in the workplace.
Whether you have a specific religious belief or no religion at all, you are protected by these anti-discrimination laws. If you believe that you have been discriminated against in the workplace due to the religion that you have or are perceived to have, it is important that you fully understand the law so that you can take the appropriate action.
Your son or daughter comes home from school, and you can tell that something is wrong. Maybe it looks like they've been crying. Maybe they're just withdrawn and quiet. You ask them what happened, and eventually you find out that other students have been bullying them.
You may not know exactly what to say, but, without putting too much pressure on you, you should know that your choice of action is incredibly important. Experts even say that the response of a parent is crucial to the recovery of the child. To help you get started, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Many workers are eligible to take job-protected leave in a number of circumstances. This is because the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year for certain reasons, without the threat of job loss.
If you have recently taken FMLA leave but have been demoted, fired or otherwise negatively treated by your employer, you may have reason to believe that they have retaliated against you. This may be the case, and you may also be able to take legal action to claim damages as a result. Before doing so, however, you should consider the following.
There are many kinds of harassment that people can face in the workplace. Whether it's harassment based on race, national origin, gender or some other reason, it's unfair.
One of the most significant kinds of harassment in workplaces is sexual harassment. It's a kind of sex discrimination and occurs when you face:
As a parent, you want your children to grow up healthy and safe. One of the many ways that you can protect your children from abuse and trauma is to educate them about safety when it comes to other people. Adults and even older children can victimize children of all ages, including teenagers and high school students.
For a long time, parents have focused on so-called stranger danger in their attempt to avoid the abuse of their kids, teaching their children to be wary of people they don't know in public places or who approach the family home.
The religion you practice should not have any impact on your ability to work and make an income. Unfortunately, however, many people across the United States are denied employment, fired or harassed in their workplace because of their religion.
If you have been made to feel uncomfortable in your workplace because of your choice of religion, it is important that you do not tolerate this type of behavior. By taking swift action, you may be able to gain back damages, particularly if you lost income based on your mistreatment.
If you or your partner is pregnant, you'll probably be eager to share the happy news with everyone you know. However, you may feel some hesitation or reluctance when it comes to sharing the news with those with whom you work. You may worry that by sharing the news with your manager, you could be risking future promotions or career opportunities.
While this consideration is a reasonable one, there should be no reason why your decision to start a family should affect your potential for career success in any way. Pregnant workers are protected from discrimination under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Therefore, if you believe that you are being discriminated against due to your pregnancy or because your employer believes that you may become pregnant in the future, you must learn more about your rights.
If you face religious discrimination or harassment at work, why do you think it happens? In many cases, it is because of two factors:
People then discriminate against those who follow the religion based on what they think they know about it, even when those things are not true. It's hard for people to deal with things they're not familiar with, and they often act out against them because those things -- and their own lack of knowledge -- make them feel uncomfortable.
