It may be illegal. You should call the local bar association and ask for a referral to a good employment law attorney. They should give you a free consultation and inform you of your rights as an employee. If they are unsure ask for a referral to an attorney who specializes in Discrimination. You can also look up an attorney in the Martin-Hubbindale directory. This is a directory of attorneys. They list them by specialty and by area. Almost all attorneys will offer you a free consultation. Good luck.
