Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Oklahoma

Work Discrimination

I am a service advisor for a dealership. A

position that is normally held by men. We

are graded by our repair average dollars. I

have been doing this job for ten months

and the last couple of months have been a

little slow and my average is a little low. I

was written up last week for this. However

one of the other guys that has been here

for sixteen years and always goes to lunch

with the boss did not get written up and his

numbers are always lower than mine and

are lower than mine now. I have all the

daily reports showing this. Would this be

considered discrimination?

Re: Work Discrimination

Yes. This is behavior commonly referred to as disparate treatment. Other issues may exist based on and gender but it is important to understand that discrimination is hard to prove without primie facia evidence, documentation and an established and documented pattern or discriminatory behavior. In other words the burden of proof is on you. I hope this helps.
