Passing over a qualified female employee for a promotion in favor of a male worker with less experience.
Not providing equivalent training chances for workers of different spiritual backgrounds.

Making prejudicial statements about a worker’s sexual preference.
Making unfavorable comments about an employee’s spiritual beliefs.

Workplace harassment can also take the form of quid pro quo harassment. This indicates that the harassment leads to an intangible change in an employee’s work status. For instance, an employee may be required to endure unwanted sexual advances from a manager as a condition of their continued work.
Which Industries Have one of the most Overtime and Base Pay Violations?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) developed specific employees’ rights, consisting of the right to a base pay (set federally at $7.25 since 2020) and overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt staff members.
However, some companies try to cut expenses by denying workers their rightful pay through deceiving methods. This is called wage theft, and consists of examples such as:
Paying a worker less than the federal minimum wage.
Giving a worker “comp time” or hours that can be used toward vacation or ill time, rather than overtime spend for hours worked over 40 in a work week.
Forcing tipped workers to pool their ideas with non-tipped workers, such as supervisors or cooks.
Forcing employees to pay for tools of the trade or other expenditures that their company need to pay.
Misclassifying a worker that should be paid overtime as “exempt” by promoting them to a “managerial” position without actually altering the worker’s task duties.
Some of the most vulnerable professions to overtime and minimum wage infractions consist of:
IT workers.
Service professionals.
Installers.
Sales representatives.
Nurses and health care employees.
Tipped employees.
Oil and gas field workers.
Call center workers.
Personal bankers, home loan brokers, and AMLs.
Retail employees.
Strippers.
FedEx motorists.
Disaster relief employees.
Pizza shipment drivers.

Independent specialists are not entitled to employee benefits, and need to file and keep their own taxes, as well.
However, over the last few years, some companies have by misclassifying bonafide employees as professionals in an attempt to conserve money and circumvent laws. This is most frequently seen amongst “gig economy” workers, such as rideshare chauffeurs and shipment motorists.
Some examples of misclassifications include:
Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor to not need to adhere to Equal Job opportunity Commission laws, which avoid work discrimination.
Misclassifying a worker to prevent registering them in a health benefits plan.
Misclassifying workers to avoid paying out base pay.
