Fighting for Workplace Justice in Oakland County

Discrimination in the workplace undermines employees' rights and creates hostile environments that can hinder professional growth and personal well-being. At Marko Law, we are dedicated to protecting employees in Oakland County from unlawful workplace discrimination and ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.

Understanding Employment Discrimination in Oakland County

Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfairly based on specific, protected characteristics. These include:

• Race, color, or national origin
• Religion
• Sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation
• Age (40 and older)
• Disability
• Pregnancy
• Marital Status
• Military status

Such treatment can manifest in hiring, promotions, compensation, job assignments, or wrongful termination.

Know Your Rights Under Federal and Michigan Law

Employees in Oakland County are protected under a range of federal and state laws, including:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: Prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, color, sex, and national origin.
• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Protects employees with disabilities from unfair treatment.
• The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA): Shields workers aged 40 and older.
• Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA): Extends protections to Michigan workers by addressing additional forms of discrimination, such as height and weight.
