Report discrimination to a local Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). If the discrimination breaks both a state and federal law, the FEPA will also send your complaint to the EEOC. Use the EEOC's directory of field offices to find the FEPA near you.
Harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, victimization, violence and many other kinds of offensive or inappropriate behavior qualify as unwelcome conduct. All of them will create a hostile work environment if they're happening consistently or purposefully, or in the case of a single incident, if they're severe.
Examples of Employment Discrimination Failure to hire. Harassment. Quid pro quo: Conditioning employment or promotion on sexual favors. Hostile Work Environment: Continuous actions and comments based on protected characteristics that create an uncomfortable and hostile workplace.
A hostile work environment is one where you are harassed or discriminated against to the point that it affects your work performance. The misconduct must be associated with your race, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, age and even pregnancy.
Furthermore, to prove a hostile work environment, employees must provide evidence that their employer failed to take action after the employee reported work environment concerns. Acceptable evidence includes documentation (emails or messages), incident reports, or potential witnesses.

However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.
Legal test for discrimination The individual has a protected characteristic (based on a protected ground). The individual suffered an adverse (negative) impact. The individual's protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact.
