Direct and indirect discrimination in the workplace
There are many different forms that discrimination can take in the workplace, both indirect and direct.
Direct discrimination exists in a workplace where someone is treated less favorably because of their protected characteristics (e.g., didn't get a promotion because of race, gender, age, etc.).
Indirect discrimination occurs when a workplace policy applies to everybody but puts some people with protected characteristics at a disadvantage (e.g., people who celebrate religious holidays or pregnant women).
