Chicago Employment Discrimination Lawyers
It seems unimaginable that discrimination still occurs at work in the 21st century, but unfortunately it is alive and well. On a daily basis, good, hard-working people are passed over for promotions, lose bonuses and get paid lesser wages — all because they are victims of workplace discrimination.

Discrimination in the Workplace
Skaletsky & Associates, Ltd. has represented clients who have faced discrimination based on gender, race, national origin, religion, age, disability and sexual orientation. Discriminatory actions on the part of managers and employers may include the creation of a hostile work environment, being passed over for promotions, being demoted, being forced to accept pay cuts and even being fired.
In Illinois, in order to bring a suit alleging employment discrimination, you must file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or the Illinois Department of Human Rights within 180 days from the last occurrence of discrimination. Generally, until you file this charge, legal intervention is not allowed - you must take the initiative to put a stop to discrimination against you. Once you have been granted the right to sue, you have only 30 to 90 days to file suit.
