Birmingham Gender Discrimination Attorney

Put Years of Experience on Your Side

According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act , gender discrimination is prohibited in the workplace. Sex-based discrimination may involve unfair treatment due to a person's gender or his or her association with a group that is strongly connected to a certain gender.

Examples of gender discrimination could include the following:

• Pay rate: persons may paid less for the same type of work because of their sex
• Job offers: a job offer might not be extended to someone because of their gender, even though they are more qualified than the other applicants
• Position or job title: some individuals cannot advance to certain positions because of their gender or sexual identity, even if they have more experience and are more qualified
• Vacation or sick leave: an employer may not give certain people the same amount of paid time off because of their sex
• Termination: an employer might fire an individual that is more skilled or has more seniority than other individuals of the opposite gender who kept their jobs

Filing a Gender Discrimination Claim

After you meet with a discrimination lawyer, you should file a claim with your local U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) office. You have approximately six months to file your claim after the incident. You may file in person, by telephone, or by mailing a written statement. Your charges should include the following:

• Your contact information.
• Your employer's contact information.
• A description and date of the event.
• The motivation behind the event.

For more information, you can visit the EEOC's website.

To ensure that everything is correct, it is wise to have a sex discrimination lawyer review your claim. Since the EEOC hears hundreds of thousands of cases yearly, it may be best to hire a legal representative to pursue your litigation. A good employment lawyer will give you the necessary attention to bring a compelling lawsuit against your employer.
