Gender Discrimination in the Workplace
At Ryan Employment Law, we believe that every individual deserves to work in an environment free from discrimination based on their gender. Gender discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly due to their gender, which is not only illegal but also unjust.
Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act makes gender discrimination unlawful. That means, an employee cannot be fired, demoted, or face any other adverse employment action because of the employee’s gender.
What Does Gender Discrimination Look Like?
Gender discrimination can manifest in various forms in the workplace, including differences in pay, promotion opportunities, assignments, or even harassment based on gender. It is essential to recognize these signs and take action to protect your rights.
In most cases, this refers to women. Gender discrimination can, however, also refer to male employees. Stereotyping by an employer is evidence of discrimination. Therefore, if a male employee is noted by his employer as being too feminine, this is evidence of discrimination.
