This is the most difficult question to answer, and it often takes a team of lawyers working around the clock to prove an instance of workplace discrimination. There are a few things that lawyers look for when they are examining a workplace discrimination case, and the main thing that they are searching for is why the employee was fired from or not hired for a position.
“Why?” is the key to any workplace discrimination case. There are a multitude of reasons why a person might not be hired or be fired, but only a few are legally actionable. If the employer wanted to hire his sister-in-law for the same position that you were applying for, he doesn’t have to hire you over his sister. But if your employer finds out you are homosexual and the next day he fires you, you may very well have a good court case.
