Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

Gender discrimination, which applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including federal, state and local governments as well as employment agencies and labor organizations, occurs when an employer does not treat an employee in an equal manner due to their sex. Someone may not be treated in an unfair manner due to his or her gender. In doing so, an employer is violating a person’s right to be treated equally. In addition, no one may be harassed because of their gender.

In filing a claim against an employer for gender discrimination, it is unlawful for the employer to harass the claimant or to retaliate because they have filed a claim. The employer may also not take any such actions, such as harassment or retaliation, against an employee because they are testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or other litigation related to gender discrimination.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA)

An employer may not discriminate against someone because they are pregnant. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which is an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits employers or covered entities from discriminating against employees or applicants based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. As it is with gender discrimination, the PDA applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including federal, state and local governments as well as employment agencies and labor organizations.
