What Does the EEOC Cover?
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws that prohibit workplace discrimination. These laws protect employees and job applicants from discrimination based on their race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, and genetic information. If you believe you have been the victim of discrimination, an EEOC lawyer can help you understand your rights and options for pursuing legal action.
The EEOC enforces several federal laws that prohibit workplace discrimination, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Equal Pay Act, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA).
