SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION
SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Sometimes employers favor one sex or the other. Sometimes the workplace can become sexually hostile if an employee is denied relief from unwanted sexual advances or suggestive behavior. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that seeks to rid the workplace of employment discrimination and/or harassment based on sex. For the Act to apply, an employer must have 15 or more employees each working day within twenty weeks of the current calendar year of the preceding year. Many states have passed laws patterned after Title VII that are designed to combat sex discrimination. For example, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act of 1993 (TCHRA) is a state law that also prohibits sexual discrimination and harassment in the workplace. The employer must have 15 employees each working day within 20 calendar weeks in the current or preceding year for the Act to apply.
Additionally, the Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a federal law that prohibits gender discrimination in an employee's wages. The employer must have at least one employee for the Act to apply.
