The employee rights attorneys at Carlin & Buchsbaum fight for equal treatment of men and women in the workplace.
Gender Discrimination
There are many factors in the hiring, firing and promotions processes, but gender should never be one of them. While federal and state laws strongly prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender, it is still surprisingly common, and affects both men and women. In many cases, a strong candidate is passed over for an individual with much weaker qualifications, simply on the basis of their sex. In fact, a drastic difference in credentials is consistently upheld in court as an indication of gender bias. In addition, the Equal Pay Act guarantees equal pay for equal work among men and women. If you believe sex has become a factor in the selection process, pay, layoffs, fringe benefits or any aspect of employment, the employee rights attorneys at Carlin & Buchsbaum can help.
