Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

I work for a financial company for 15 years. I have been passed up fpr promotion in 2002, 2009, and currently was told that I will not be considered for the open sr trading position. I have had good perf evaluations up until 2008 when I had my second child. I did not have an evaluation in 2007 when I had my first. My manager says that "I am not up to par" and cannot specify even though I made $5MM in PnL for the company in 2010. This seems cut and dry to me but they are suggesting that I move to a different position in the company, with their help. This is not an option for me, I love what I do, I should be recognized for my contributions like the rest of the males in the dept. I've been trading for 11 years. Can you tell me what type of restitiution is reasonable?

Sounds like you should contact an attorney specializing in sexual discrimination. If you are from the Philly area and would like some names, feel free to contact me "off list." Consultations are usually free and will give you an opportunity to assess if you have a claim and, more importantly, whether you want to pursue it.

This answer to your legal inquiry is based upon the limited facts stated in your question. Accurate legal advice is based upon an exchange between a lawyer and a client. The lawyer can then ask about other facts that may change or confirm the answer. Without that exchange, this reply should be considered limited in value. You should rely on this answer only at your own risk. Direct consultation with a lawyer is always recommended. Answering your question does not create an attorney-client relationship.
