How do I follow Prohibition against discrimination for exercising rights?

- Refer to Virginia Code § 40.1-2 through § 40.1-33.

To follow the prohibition against discrimination for exercising rights in Virginia, you can follow these outlined steps based on the relevant laws and regulations, particularly Virginia Code §40.1-10, which deals with employment discrimination laws:

  1. Understand your Rights: Review the specific rights you have under Virginia law, which include the right to be free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, age, disability, or other protected classifications.
  2. Familiarize Yourself with Prohibited Practices: Recognize what constitutes discrimination. Under Virginia Code §40.1-10, it's unlawful for employers or other entities to discriminate against someone for exercising their rights under the law. This includes any adverse treatment or action taken against you due to your exercise of rights.
  3. Document Any Discriminatory Actions: If you believe you have experienced discrimination, gather evidence. This can include emails, witness statements, or any communications that illustrate how and why discrimination occurred in relation to your rights.
  4. Report the Discrimination: If you face discrimination, report the incident to your employer’s HR department or directly to the Virginia Division of Human Resource Management. Ensure you submit all collected evidence with your complaint for a thorough investigation.
  5. Seek Legal Advice: Consult with a lawyer who specializes in employment law to understand your legal options. They can provide guidance specific to your situation and help pursue any necessary claims or resolutions.
  6. File a Formal Complaint: If the issue is not resolved internally, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the Virginia Commission on Human Rights or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
  7. Monitor the Process: Stay engaged with the process, follow up on your complaint, and inform your lawyer or relevant officials about any retaliation or further discrimination.

Through these steps, you can effectively follow the prohibition against discrimination for exercising your rights in Virginia, ensuring your protections under the law are upheld. Always consider the specific details of Virginia Code §40.1-10 and related legal resources as you navigate this process.
