Gender Discrimination Attorney in Kansas City MO

Gender Discrimination Attorney in Kansas City, MO
It is prohibited by both Federal and Missouri law for employers to discriminate against employees or prospective employees based on their gender. Both men and women can be discriminated against and the victim can be the same gender as the harasser.

It is an unlawful practice to discharge employees or refuse to hire potential employees because of their gender, as stated in the Missouri Human Rights Act. Employers should not also limit, classify or segregate an employee based on their sex. Employers may not grant preferential treatment, apply different terms or conditions of employment, or compensate employees differently based on the gender unless there is either a genuine seniority or merit system in place.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act bans the same type of conduct, provided the employer has fifteen employees or more.
