We've combined sexual harassment and discrimination in one section because sexual harassment is considered a form of sex discrimination. Both practices are illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Civil Rights Act provides basic legal protection against employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The American Disabilities Act of 1973, prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The Age discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) bans age discrimination. Currently, there are no Federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. If the employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) passes, however, this will change.
We will strive to make this section a source of guidance and information. Let us know what we're missing. Let us know what you need.
