Employment Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation In Washington Workplaces

If you’re a Washington employee facing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at work, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our employment attorneys are here to help you understand your rights, protect your career, and pursue justice.

Your Rights Under Washington and Federal Law

Washington State law recognizes more than a dozen protected classes, including age, disability, race, religion, gender, military status, marital status, and sexual orientation. Both state and federal laws guarantee your right to a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

What Counts as Unlawful Discrimination or Harassment?

Unlawful workplace discrimination happens when an employer treats you unfairly because of a protected characteristic. Harassment becomes unlawful when it’s so severe or pervasive that it creates a hostile, intimidating, or abusive work environment or when enduring the conduct becomes a condition of keeping your job.

Examples include:

• • Offensive jokes, slurs, or comments about your identity
  • Unwanted advances or threats
  • Retaliation for reporting discrimination or standing up for your rights
