Gender Discrimination

 
Both Title VII, codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et. seq., and the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act, codified at Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 46a-60 et. seq., offer protection to employees who are treated differently because of his or her gender. Gender discrimination in the workplace that affects terms and conditions of employment is against the law.

·        These laws forbid all forms of gender discrimination, including those involving job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.

·        If you want to file a claim for gender discrimination with the state, you must file a complaint with the appropriate state administrative agency within 180 days after the alleged act of discrimination.  To file a violation of the federal law, you must file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”).   If your employer violated both state and federal law, you must timely file your complaints with the state administrative agency, which will also send a copy to the EEOC.

·        Our attorneys have extensive experience offering full representation for clients who have been discriminated against on the basis of gender.  Our attorneys have litigated these violations extensively at state, federal and administrative forums.
