Gender Pay Gap

Women still face challenges in receiving equal pay for equal work. The attorneys emphasized the importance of examining all criteria, including having the same supervisor, to prove gender-based pay discrepancies.

Pregnancy Discrimination

Pregnant employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations under the law. The Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act mandates that employers provide necessary accommodations, such as light duty or medical leave, to pregnant employees.

Sexual Harassment

Employees should document instances of sexual harassment and notify the agency. Rejecting inadequate solutions is crucial, as employees have the right to refuse offers that do not address the issue effectively.

Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination can manifest in various forms, such as promotion denials or unequal treatment. It is essential for employees to be aware of their rights and document any discriminatory practices.
