Employment Discrimination
Under Tennessee and Federal law, it is unlawful for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or discharge any person or otherwise to discriminate against any person with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of such person's race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits age discrimination against an employee forty (40) years and over. In addition, it is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee for making a complaint of sexual harassment or discrimination. There are also laws to protect women from discrimination due to pregnancy. If you feel you have been discriminated against in the workplace, you may need to consult with an attorney. In addition, you may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Nashville by contacting them at (800) 669-4000.
