Ohio and federal laws prohibit gender-based discrimination. In these cases, “gender” includes sex and gender, as well as discrimination based on pregnancy, gender presentation, gender identity, transgender status, or sexual orientation.

Sex and gender discrimination is prohibited under Ohio’s Fair Employment Practice law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the Equal Pay Act. If you believe you have suffered an adverse employment action because of gender discrimination, Lalak LLC can help.

Examples of Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination can take many forms, including sexual harassment or mistreatment in the workplace, failure to hire or promote based on a person’s gender, or a company policy that is not discriminatory on its face but in practice causes employees to be discriminated against because of their gender.

Common examples of sex- and gender-based discrimination include:

• Wrongful termination
• Lower pay for similar work
• Harassment
• Denial of benefits or FMLA leave
• Inequitable job assignments
• Denial of break time for nursing mothers
• Refusal of employment or promotion

While people of any gender can face discrimination, many cases affect women, pregnant workers, and transgender employees.
