If an employer refuses to hire you, or fires you, because of your race, age, sex/gender, national origin, disability, or Family Medical Leave issue that employer has broken the law.
The law also protects you in cases involving:
- Sexual harassment - You have the right to work in an environment that is free of sexual intimidation and improper bodily contact.
- Whistleblowers - In certain circumstances, employers are forbidden to punish employees for reporting illegal behavior in the workplace.
- Family Leave - The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles you to time off, without pay, if you have a newborn child, a sick relative, or if you are sick.
