Gender_In_The_Workplace

Gender In The Workplace Laws & Statutes The law states under Title VII that to fail or refuse to hire or fire anyone, or to discriminate anyone with respect to compensation, terms, or right to employment because of that person’s sex (gender) is unlawful for an employer. The Equal Pay Act also states that no employer shall discriminate between two employees on the basis of gender by paying wages at a rate less than the opposite sex for equal work on an equal job. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act also states that discriminating on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or other related medical conditions is, in fact, considered gender discrimination, and is equally unlawful. Closely related to the issue of pregnancy discrimination is protection of employees who take time off work to have a baby or to adopt. The Family and Medical Leave Act guarantees employees (who have been on the job for at least a year) up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year for a birth, adoption, or care of sick children, spouses, or parents, and the same or an equivalent job upon their return. This applies to employers with 50 or more employees, and the employee must give the employer at least 30 days notice gender, workplace, employees, discrimination, women, children, court, company, against, upon, requirements, policy, plaintiff, discriminate, basis, work, requirement, job, employer, department, because, aged, wear, vii, university, title, strength, show, ones, hired, hair, female, equal, case, arbitrary, as
