Employment discrimination law prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on certain characteristics, including race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. This includes hiring, firing, promotions, pay, benefits, training, and other terms and conditions of employment.
Here are some key points about employment discrimination law:
Who enforces the law
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal employment discrimination laws.
Who the laws apply to
Most employers with at least 15 employees are covered by EEOC laws, as well as most labor unions and employment agencies.
What the laws protect against
The laws protect workers from discrimination, retaliation for opposing discrimination, and participation in discrimination investigations.
When to file a charge
A charge of discrimination must be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the alleged unlawful employment practice.
The Constitution
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution limit the power of the federal and state governments to discriminate in employment.
State constitutions
State constitutions may also afford protection from employment discrimination.
If you believe you were treated unfairly due to a protected characteristic, you may have a valid discrimination claim. You can contact a local employment law attorney for assistance.
Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
