In the state of Wisconsin, employees without an employment contract are "at will" employees and can be fired for any legal reason whatsoever. However, employers can be held financially liable for harm suffered by an employee when discrimination, harassment, or unfair labor practices are involved. Understanding what your rights are in the workplace, what constitutes illegality, and what obligations your employer has towards you is important for determining whether you have a case. And, since employers can use almost any excuse they like from vague allegations of poor work performance to violations of company police regarding the use of company email, exposing discrimination and harassment requires an understanding of what documents to request and how human resources departments operate.

Steps You Can Take Now to Protect Yourself
In cases involving discrimination and harassment in the workplace it's important to understand and protect your rights. If you believe you have been the target of harassment or discrimination: gather as much documentation as possible, save E-mails and memos, and consult an attorney before talking to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or your employer's human resources department. If you contact the EEOC, they will have to notify your employer should they decide to initiate an investigation. And, since most HR departments are more concerned about protecting the company's interests than the rights of employees, contacting your HR representative could backfire once a decision is made to protect a valued manager or supervisor at the expense of your job.
