Unintentional Discrimination
All citizens of the United States are protected against workplace discrimination based on a broad range of factors. Employees of the federal government are no exception. However, discrimination can take a number of different forms. Overt discrimination, such as preferential treatment or harassment, is easily detected and can typically be dealt with simply. Discrimination can also be covert, however, and in some instances, discrimination may even be unintentional.
If you are a federal employee who feels that you have faced discrimination in the workplace, you may be entitled to compensation for this unfair treatment.

Forms of Unintentional Discrimination
Unintentional discrimination occurs when employers have hiring or employment practices which produce unequal effects on different employees. Some common forms of unintentional discrimination include:
- Height and weight requirements, which may favor or disfavor members of different racial groups and genders
- Standardized tests, which may negatively affect those with different national origins
- Employee referrals, which may keep out job applicants who aren’t similar to the current employees
These and other employment practices may be considered forms of unintentional discrimination.
