NKA Can Help You Determine Whether You Were Unlawfully Discriminated Against
Generally, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against you, with respect to terms of employment, because you belong to a “protected class,” or because of certain choices you have made which are protected by law. Under the federal law, employers cannot discriminate against you because of your race/color, national origin, gender, religion, age, or disability. Gender discrimination includes pregnancy discrimination.
Minnesota and California state laws provide similar protections for these group members. California law also protects against illegal discrimination based on ancestry, creed, sexual orientation, marital status, medical conditions, and denial of medical leave. Minnesota law further prohibits illegal discrimination based upon your creed, marital status, sexual orientation, and obtainment of public assistance.
