Workplace discrimination remains a significant issue for employees across West Virginia, affecting hiring decisions, pay, promotions, and termination. Discrimination may occur based on age, disability, pregnancy, race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics, and it can take many forms, including unequal treatment, hostile work environments, or retaliation after reporting misconduct. Understanding how workplace discrimination is defined under state and federal law helps employees recognize when their rights may be at risk. Legal protections enforced through employment law also address related issues such as workplace retaliation and unfair termination, making it important for workers to document concerns and understand available legal remedies within West Virginia’s employment framework.
