There are both state and federal laws stating that you cannot be denied employment due to your gender. Specifically, an employer cannot refuse to hire or promote you for a job for which you are qualified based upon your gender. One form of gender discrimination is sexual harassment. You have the right to work in an environment free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can take two forms. One is when the employment is expressly or implicitly conditioned upon your participation in another employee's demands for sexual favors. An example of this form of harassment is when your employer or supervisor states that if you don't engage in sexual acts with him or her, you will be fired, demoted or denied a promotion. The second form of gender discrimination is when unwelcome sexual conduct unreasonably interferes with an employee's job performance or creates a hostile or offensive working environment. Sexual harassment in a hostile environment need not be directed at you, but must be done in your presence, such as telling sexual jokes or displaying sexually-suggestive materials in your place of employment. It is important that your conduct and behavior not invite or encourage sexual harassment. Any employer who commits or condones either gender discrimination or sexual harassment is subject to a civil lawsuit. There are, however, administrative remedies that must be exhausted under both state and federal law before bringing an action in court. For more information on sexual discrimination, consult with an attorney.

州法和聯(lián)邦法闡明行為人不能因性別關(guān)系被解雇,特別是在你完全勝任工作的情況下,雇主不可因性別的原因拒絕雇傭或拒絕給你升遷。性別歧視的一種表現(xiàn)形勢是性騷擾。你有權(quán)利在沒有性騷擾的自由環(huán)境中工作。性騷擾有兩種形式,一種就是這種雇傭關(guān)系明示或暗示表明這份工作是以符合某人的性需求為條件,這種形式的性騷擾表現(xiàn)在如果你不和你的老板或上司發(fā)生性行為,那么你就會遭到解雇、降職或無法晉升。性別歧視的第二種表現(xiàn)形式是這種不受歡迎的性騷擾影響到雇員的工作表現(xiàn)或使工作環(huán)境充滿了敵意。這種充滿敵意氛圍中的性騷擾無需直接指向你, 但一定是有你在場而做出的,比如說黃色笑話或在你的工作場所擺放有性暗示的物品。你自身的行為不對性騷擾進行邀請或鼓勵這一點是至關(guān)重要的。任何對性別歧視和性騷擾采取積極行動或者對這些行為睜只眼閉只眼的雇主都會導致民事訴訟。但向法庭提起訴訟前,必須用盡州和聯(lián)邦法的行政救濟行為。如果想了解更多有關(guān)性歧視方面的信息,可向律師咨詢。
