Gender Discrimination

Sex or gender discrimination involves treating an applicant or employee unfavorably because of that person’s sex/gender.

Sex discrimination also can involve treating someone less favorably because of his or her connection with an organization or group that is generally associated with people of a certain sex. Sex discrimination may also involve unfavorable treatment of an employee or applicant because she is pregnant.

Federal and state statutes make it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against any person because of their sex or gender. The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.

A complex interaction of federal, state, and local statutes create confusing filing requirements, deadlines and procedures which must be strictly followed before moving forward with a discrimination claim.

If your employer has treated you adversely, you may feel lost and unsure if you are protected under the law.
