 Gender
discrimination is different than Sexual Harassment, and legislated by separate
State and Federal Legislation. It is actually possible for a worker to be both
discriminated against because of his or her gender, while also being subjected
to sexually harassment in the workplace. These are two separate violations of
employment laws.
This page is dedicated to gender discrimination
issues. For sexual harassment issues please go to our
Sexual Harassment
page of this website.
Gender discrimination, commonly referred to as Sex
Discrimination is defined as treating an employee or employees differently
because of their gender, affecting the "terms or conditions of employment" such
as available positions within the company, promotional opportunities, pay,
title, hours, vacations, and so on. This may also include whether or not a
person is hired due to his or her gender (sex).

The
law that governs gender or sex discrimination in the
workplace and employment opportunities is
Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964
(last amended in 1991) and the Florida Civil
Rights Act. These laws prohibit discrimination in
the workplace and employment opportunities based on a
worker's or applicant's gender.
While it is often easier
to show gender discrimination where a worker already is
employed, in situations of gender discrimination in
hiring employees are typically proved as a result of a
companies history in their hiring practices.
Documentation in gender
discrimination cases can be extremely helpful in proving
a worker is the victim of gender discrimination in the
workplace. Employment records can also be evidence to
show a pattern of history in gender discrimination
cases.

counsel who can properly evaluate your specific
situation and circumstances to determine if you have a
valid gender discrimination case against an employer.

We
have long been advocates for workers in an effort to ensure
they are being treated fairly in the workplace. If you must
bring an employment claim against an employer
the
court must look to surrounding circumstances, circumstantial
evidence, to make a determination as to whether a person has
been the victim of wrong-doing by his or her employer. If court
believes that the facts of the case support a violation
labor and employment laws, the court will find in the
employee's favor.
Regardless if you win or loose
your case, the employer is prohibited from using any for of
retaliation against you.
If the employee is successful
in his or her claim, the employer must pay for your attorney
fees, court costs, and any compensation and/or damages that
are awarded by the court.
