It is illegal for an employer, employment agency or labor organization to treat an employee differently on the basis of his or her sex. If your employer has taken an adverse employment action against you because of your sex, your employer has violated the law. If your employer has 8 or more employees you are protected by state law. If your employer has 15 or more employees, you are protected by both state and federal laws.
It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his or her sex. This prohibition applies to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment.
he law also prohibits employment decisions based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals on the basis of that person's gender. Both intentional discrimination and neutral job policies that disproportionately affect individuals on the basis of sex and that are not job related are equally prohibited.
In addition, state and federal laws also prohibit sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination and unequal pay for men and women performing substantially equal work.
Finally, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for complaining about sex discrimination or supporting another who has complained about sex discrimination.
