Sex Discrimination

Under federal law, known as Title VII (or Title 7), intentional discrimination is against the law. Similarly, employer conduct, practice, or policy which has the effect of discriminating against individuals -- because of sex/gender violates the law.

Federal law, under Title VII, strictly prohibits sex discrimination in the workplace.  This includes sexual harassment, or those practices ranging from direct requests for sexual favors to workplace conditions that create a hostile environment for persons of either gender, including same sex harassment.

Sex discrimination may also come in the form of non-hire or termination, if the basis for the non-hire or firing was based on gender.

Some employers also violate federal law when denying employment to, failing to reasonably accommodate, or terminating a female employee who is pregnant.  Pregnancy discrimination includes pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, and the employer is required to treat that pregnant employee, or prospective employee, in the same way as other temporary health conditions.

Do not be intimidated or fearful if you have an issue related to your pay. You have legal rights and options that exist to protect you, the employee.
