Video Transcript: Leave Discrimination Workplace
Employers are required to grant a number of different types of leaves of absence for employees. Discrimination can occur when the employer refuses to grant that leave or when they administer leaves in a discriminatory fashion, allowing some people to take a leave but not others, or if they do allow a leave but then they retaliate or cause some unpleasant environment after the employee comes back from a leave. That kind of negative action can include loss of pay, demotion, change in work duties, refusal to grant a promotion that would have otherwise been granted. There are a number of ways that leaves can either be denied or applied in a discriminatory fashion.
