There is rarely a single piece of evidence proving workplace discrimination. In order to establish a pattern of discriminatory behavior, evidence may include:

  • Emails, text messages, or other written communications
  • Performance reviews and disciplinary records
  • Compensation and payroll information
  • Job descriptions and promotion records
  • Statements made by supervisors or coworkers
  • Witness testimony
  • Employment policies and records

Discrimination can also be established through direct or circumstantial evidence. Read more about key evidence needed to prove employment discrimination.
