Gender Discrimination Lawyer in Maryland

Aggressive and Compassionate Legal Advice

Both federal and Maryland employment laws make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on someone's gender or sex. This means that an employer can never make employment-related decisions – such as promotions or pay increases – based on who is the proverbial "best fit" according to that employer's opinion.

Everyone has a right to work without fear of mistreatment at their jobs based on their gender. If you are being passed over for opportunities at your workplace because of your gender, we may be able to help.

You Have Rights as an Employee to Be Protected from Gender Discrimination

The law prohibits employers from acting unfavorably towards you because of your gender if you are:

• Male
• Female
• Preoperative, procative or postoperative trans (a person who has changed their gender or sex by preparing and receiving medical treatments)
• Identifying or having been identified as a member of either gender

It is illegal for employers to discriminate based on gender when making any employment-related decisions, such as:

• Harassment
• Promotions
• Bonuses
• Raises
• A lack of needed accommodations (from employees with certain medical needs)
• Termination

What Is Gender Discrimination?

Gender discrimination takes place in the workplace when an employer takes an adverse employment-related action towards an employee because of his or her gender or sex. The victim is then not given the same opportunities as other co-workers at the job.

This is strictly prohibited by both the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which covers employers with 15 or more employees) and the Maryland Civil Rights Act (which covers state government, businesses, and agencies).

According to Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act, an employee cannot be treated differently because of their gender in any aspect of employment. This includes the following:

• Hiring applications
• Interview opportunities
• All decisions based on qualifications, tests, and evaluations
• Rates of pay, wage cuts, and raises in salary
• Promotions and opportunities for employment benefits
• An individual's job title, record, or security
• Responsibilities involved with each individual job

Both employers with 14 or fewer employees are covered by it under the Maryland Law, if the employer is a state or local government, it must never discriminate based on gender under any circumstance.

Any discriminatory practice by your federal or Maryland employer deserves to be addressed with the help of our team of successful gender discrimination attorneys in Maryland.

Before Filing a Claim You Must Show You Were Subject to Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

Employees seeking to file a gender discrimination lawsuit against their employer must first show proof that they were subject to some form of employment-related "adverse actions." This means that the employee must show proof that they suffered some sort of harm in their profession. If you are looking to take legal action against your employer for workplace gender discrimination, we will give you the legal advice that you need to win.
