Key Employment Laws and Their Impact on Employees

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

This landmark legislation prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It underscores the principle that all employees and job applicants should be judged based on their skills and qualifications rather than immutable characteristics or personal beliefs.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The ADA is a comprehensive piece of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs. It guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in mainstream American life, from employment to purchasing goods and services.

Worker Rights Covered Under Employment Law

Wrongful Termination

Employees are protected against being discharged from their positions for illegal reasons, which include, but are not limited to, discrimination, retaliation or blowing the whistle on unsafe work practices.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment constitutes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with their work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.

Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace can manifest in various forms, including but not limited to age, disability, gender, pregnancy, race, sexual orientation and other characteristics protected under federal and state laws.
