Asked on Sep 06th, 2021 on Discrimination - Indiana
More details to this question:
I was recently fired from my position of 5 yrs. because I filled out a daily health screen for Covid saying that I was not sick. A few hours into that shift I began experiencing symptoms and was sent home. Also I was told that on the store video I was not wearing a mask, which other employees were also not wearing masks do to the heat, but they were not reprimanded in any way. I feel descriminated against.

Generally, one cannot be fired for a discriminatory purpose. However, discrimination has a very specific legal definition. I recommend you review the types of discrimination and determine if any applies to you.

If you find that your situation falls into one of these types, you should consider contacting the EEOC or hiring an attorney near you right away.
