FAQ

Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. That's the simple answer. But explaining why it happens is more complicated. The human brain naturally puts things in categories to make sense of the world.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act generally applies to any employer with at least four employees and individual contractors. The Act makes it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of a protected group in the workplace this applies to all facets of employment not just hiring and firing.

Simple Discrimination This involves teaching individuals to differentiate between two stimuli. The most common ABA program teaching simple discrimination is receptive labels. For example, a child may be taught to identify red from a set of different-colored objects.

Discrimination can be direct or indirect. Inadequate accessibility, harassment, sexual harassment and instructions to discriminate are also forms of discrimination.

Types of discrimination Direct discrimination. Direct discrimination happens when an employer treats an employee less favourably than someone else because of one of the above reasons. Indirect discrimination. Harassment. Victimisation. Being treated unfairly for other reasons.

To support a disparate treatment claim, you need to establish four elements: The individual is a member of a protected class; The employer knows of the individual's protected class; A harmful act occurred; and.

For example, in a disability or race discrimination case, some courts have said that the 4 elements are that (1) the plaintiff belongs to a protected group, (2) he is qualified for the job (3) the plaintiff was discriminated against, and (4) the plaintiff was replaced bv a nonminority.
