GENDER AND SEX DISCRIMINATION
Nevada state laws prohibit all forms of gender discrimination in the workplace. Both state and federal laws provide numerous protections to prevent such discrimination. Despite these legal safeguards, individuals in Las Vegas, Nevada, experience gender discrimination on a regular basis. We understand the emotional impact this can have, as well as the financial consequences.
Numerous forms of discrimination are prohibited in Nevada workplaces under federal and state anti-discrimination laws. Despite these protections, one common yet illegal form of discrimination is based on an employee’s sex. Both men and women can be targets of sex discrimination in various ways, leading to significant financial and emotional distress. Thankfully, the law offers recourse for victims of unlawful discrimination to hold their employers responsible and pursue compensation for the harm they have endured.
WHAT IS SEX DISCRIMINATION?
Sex discrimination happens when an employer treats an employee unfairly solely because of their sex. This occurs when an employer makes assumptions based on a gender stereotype or a gender expression.
Pregnancy discrimination encompasses bias against a woman due to her current pregnancy status or potential future pregnancies. Sexual orientation protections cover individuals who identify as heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. Gender identity refers to an employee's internal gender identification, irrespective of their biological sex. Gender expression pertains to how an employee outwardly presents their gender through attire, hairstyle, conduct, voice, and mannerisms. Gender stereotypes involve any assumptions an employer may hold about individuals based on their sex, such as beliefs that women should avoid 'dirty' jobs or that men should not work as administrative assistants.
Sex discrimination could occur based on any of the following acts against:
Biological gender
Pregnancy or childbirth
Sexual orientation
Gender identity
Gender expression
Gender stereotypes
Assumptions about a person’s abilities based on their sex
YOUR RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE
Under both federal and Nevada state law, individuals have the right to work free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. If any of these violations occur, employees have the right to seek compensation for lost income resulting from the discrimination.
Proving discrimination can be complex and challenging. Many discrimination cases require careful gathering and presentation of evidence. It's crucial to have an experienced attorney who understands how to navigate these complexities and advocate effectively on your behalf. This ensures that you not only seek financial relief but also achieve a sense of justice in addressing the discrimination you have faced.
