Oklahoma Gender Discrimination Claims

Sex or gender discrimination occurs where an employer treats a person differently solely because the individual is a woman or a man. The law covering sex or gender discrimination includes a wide array of issues that employees may encounter in the workplace, including sexual harassment, equal pay, "glass ceiling" problems, pregnancy discrimination, or parental and marital discrimination. 

The law requires equal treatment, policies, standards and practices for males and females in all phases of the employment process, including hiring, firing, recruiting, promotion, placement, advancement or work opportunity, job training, job assignment, working conditions, compensation, benefits, and other conditions of employment. 

The law prohibits employment decisions based on stereotypes, assumptions about abilities, traits, or gender and sex based performance.  Although the use of the terms “sex” and “gender” are often interchangeable, sex discrimination refers to discrimination based on an individuals biological identity as male or female while “gender” discrimination refers to discrimination based on characteristics of an individual that are associated as being male/masculine or female/feminine.
