Discrimination
Employment discrimination laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of certain protected characteristics, such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees. Michigan also has its own employment discrimination laws, such as the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination by all employers in Michigan, regardless of size.
An employment attorney can help employers and employees understand and comply with employment discrimination laws. An attorney can help employers draft policies and procedures that comply with the law, and can help employees file complaints if they believe their rights have been violated.
If you are an employer or employee in Traverse City, Michigan, or anywhere else in northern Michigan, and you have questions about employment discrimination laws, you should contact an employment attorney to discuss your legal rights and options.
