Many kinds of behavior can be discriminatory, and your remedies are not limited to wrongful discharge. For example, employment discrimination can also include treating certain employees differently, paying them less, or withholding employment opportunities because of who someone is, rather than what they do. These are only a few of countless examples of workplace discrimination.
Both federal and North Carolina state law prohibit discrimination against several protected classes, including discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, ethnicity, religion, veteran status, disability, skin color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and pregnancy.
