Answer

Thanks for your questions here. You have the right to equal treatment consistent with other employees. What you have here is disparate treatment. They have singled you out here for unfair treatment. Consider filing with both EEOC and DOL.

Both of these agencies would investigate these kinds of complaints. They also forbid retaliation here. The investigation might result in fines to the employer. You would also have grounds to file if you are terminated or otherwise punished unfairly. Consider filing both in this situation.

You can also pay an employment lawyer here to put the employer on notice that you have filed such complaints because you have been treated unfairly and disparately in the matter. This would hopefully back them off if you think they are going to terminate you here. I wish you good luck..



Here is their web site..

You may also complain here at the Department of Labor. Please review their rules to see if your situation may fall under any of these either..
