Gaithersburg Sex Discrimination Lawyer
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act of 1963 were both created to protect employees from being treated unfairly based on their sex or gender. Even with these governmental protections, many individuals in the United States suffer through gender discrimination on a daily basis. If you have been treated differently in the workplace based on your gender, you should contact a Maryland gender discrimination lawyer immediately.
Don't accept unfair treatment just because you are afraid of losing your job.
It is unlawful for an employer to make decisions in the workplace based on gender. There are several situations where this might occur, including:
- Unequal pay for equal jobs based on gender
- Hiring decisions based on gender
- Promotions and demotions made based on gender
- Intentional exclusion from jobs or responsibilities based on gender
There are many rules and regulations designed to protect employees from sex discrimination in the workplace whether they are male or female. If your manager or supervisor has based decisions on your gender, we encourage you to contact the law office of Kathlynne Ramirez, Esq. LLC.
Pregnancy Discrimination
Usually pregnancy discrimination falls under the category of gender discrimination. Often, medical accommodations can be made based on a pregnancy, but it is illegal for your employer to treat you differently because of your pregnancy.
- Were you denied a promotion because of your pregnancy?
- Were you demoted because of your pregnancy?
- Were you suspended or terminated because you were suffering from medical conditions related to your pregnancy?
- Were you terminated while out on short-term disability even though your company has a policy allowing employees to take a leave?
If you feel you were treated differently once your employer discovered you were pregnant, you might have a discrimination case against your company. We encourage you to contact an attorney at our office to schedule a consultation immediately.
