Algorithmic discrimination in the workplace is a form of discrimination that happens when an employee is treated differently than other employees or job applicants because of bias in artificial intelligence programs that target certain personal characteristics of discriminated against employees. Algorithmic bias discrimination can occur in the hiring process, job assignments, promotions, and other aspects of employment.

Examples of Workplace algorithmic Discrimination in New York
In many workplaces, computer-based systems determine who gets hired, promoted, or given a raise. These systems can be biased against specific individuals or groups, including women and minorities.
One example of algorithmic discrimination is the use of algorithms to determine who gets offered a job. There are many factors that could contribute to this job offering disparity. Still, one possibility is that algorithms are designed to screen out candidates who don’t fit a certain mold or have a certain characteristic. This could include things like being female or having a minority background.
If you feel an algorithmic system in the workplace has discriminated against you. In that case, you can take steps to resolve your situation. You may need to speak with your supervisor or human resources department or file a complaint with the company’s compliance office.

What Is Not Algorithmic Discrimination or Harassment
At El-Hag & Associates, PC, we receive calls every day from people who believe that they have been discriminated against because they feel that they lost their job for unfair reasons or because the workplace is not fair. This is not algorithmic discrimination by itself. To learn if the treatment on your job is due to fairness in the workplace, contact the employment and labor law firm of El-Hag & Associates.
It is not harassment when people in the workplace make petty slights, are generally annoying, or make isolated discriminatory or derogatory remarks (unless extremely serious) about algorithmic job determinations. To be unlawful, the conduct must create a work environment that would be intimidating, hostile, or offensive to reasonable people.
Algorithmic Discrimination. Algorithmic Discrimination must occur because of your being part of a protected class. For example, an employer can decide that he will fire any person if they come 1 minute late to work, even if it happened only one time. But it would be discriminatory if the employer said that he would only apply that policy to people that the employer’s computer algorithm solely determined should be fired.

How We Help You Recover Any Wages Unjustly Held in Retaliation by Your Employer and Other Compensation You May Be Entitled in Just Four -9 Months in Just Four 4 -9 Months
There are several factors that you must prove to win an employment algorithmic discrimination lawsuit. If you can answer yes to the following questions, you may have been a victim of employment discrimination:
Do you work at a company with 4 or more employees?
The New York State Human Rights Law only protects employees who work for an employer with 4 or more employees. Federal Law requires that the employer employ more than 15 employees. So, the first thing to check is if you are protected by the law.
Did something bad happen to you at work?
This is known as an “adverse employment action”. You must be able to show that something bad happened to you at work. Examples of adverse employment actions include:
Being fired
Being laid off
Being demoted
Being passed over for a promotion
Being harassed at work
Are you a member of a protected class?
To prove employment discrimination, you must show that you are a member of a “protected class”, for example, you have the personal characteristic that don’t affect your job performance, but those character traits are being used indiscriminately and discriminatorily by the algorithms to make human resources decisions after workplace to your unjust detriment
Were you qualified to perform the job at issue?
You must be able to demonstrate that you had the right skill set to perform the job at issue despite your disability.
- An example of being unqualified- is if you apply for a job as a lawyer, but you don’t have a law degree, you won’t be able to say that you were discriminated against if a law firm did not hire you.
- An example of being qualified and passed over in a discriminatory situation would be if you had the same or greater abilities than others who applied for a job position. Both you and the person without a disability for certain personal characteristics had equal experience working in the position you were applying for. If the other individual was hired but you were not, the company will have to be able to provide a legitimate reason that you, as a qualified individual was passed over for the job.
Does it seem likely that the gender discrimination occurred because you are a member of a protected class?
This means that there is some evidence that shows that something bad happened to you at work BECAUSE of certain personal characteristics that you possess, being discriminatorily utilized by the algorithm to make discriminatory employment decisions against you. There must be a believable cause-and-effect relationship between your algorithmic discrimination and the negative job action. For example:
- You were fired BECAUSE of a DISCRIMINATORY COMPUTER ALGORITHM
- You didn’t get a raise BECAUSE of a DISCRIMINATORY COMPUTER ALGORITHM
- You were fired BECAUSE of a DISCRIMINATORY COMPUTER ALGORITHM
Is your employer’s reason for taking the adverse action a lie (“Pretext”)?
Your employer can take any negative action in the workplace as long as there is a legitimate reason for it, and it is not retaliatory. In almost 100% of gender discrimination cases, your boss is going to have an excuse that explains why you were treated badly. It is your responsibility to demonstrate that your boss’s excuse is not true and that the real reason is algorithmic discrimination or algorithmic bias. For example, if you are a woman and your employer fired you because you performed your job poorly or had a bad attitude, your boss can terminate you. But if the men act the same way and perform the job the same way as you, then your employer’s excuse that you performed poorly is most likely a lie.

Client Reviews
Why clients prefer El-Hag Law
Millions in unpaid wages on behalf of individual clients
Although we have litigated class action lawsuits, nothing makes us happier than handing an individual a check for tens of thousands of dollars. It’s a life-changing experience for most of our clients. That is why we focus on helping the most underserved people and take on the most challenging to win cases. We know how to win these cases and are not afraid to fight on our clients' behalf.
Experience representing employees on an individual or class action basis
Did you know that you could end up receiving less as being part of a class-action lawsuit instead of litigating your case individually? We have handled numerous cases where there are multiple clients, and we know when it would benefit our clients to be part of a class action or not. Generally, class actions benefit the lawyers more than the clients, and we will never put our interest before yours. We always keep our current clients' interests at the forefront of our decisions. Because we have experience handling class action lawsuits and individual lawsuits, we can help you make the right decision for your case.
Will take your case to trial if necessary
The truth is that most lawsuits settle. Many attorneys have no experience going to trial. However, we will. And because we will bring it to trial, we can get better settlements for our clients because other firms know we will go the distance.
Your case is handled by the same person from start to finish
How would you like it if the person who handles your trial is not the person who had all the experience of putting your case together from the beginning? Some law firms will have different people working on different parts of the case to make the firm more efficient. However, in the process, things can fall through the cracks. Not with us. One person handles your case from start to finish, so the representative is personally familiar with all people and facts.
There is an art to winning a lawsuit. How can a person know how a witness will behave at trial if they had no interaction with the witness before the trial date? It's impossible to be effective. These are the kinds of things most people do not know to ask when they are evaluating lawyers. But because we need to win your case to get paid, we make sure that your case does not fall through the cracks.
We care about you and your case
We don't nickel and dime clients for 1-minute phone calls. We put in the time to build relationships and educate our clients. We know this is a scary process for most people. Every client who has walked through our door has never been in a lawsuit before. We want to make sure you are comfortable and educated on what is going on with your case. We provide you with the right information to make educated decisions about your case. It takes time to build strong relationships, and we are happy to put in the time for you.
