Recognizing Sex Discrimination in the Workplace
Sex discrimination can be both blatant and subtle. Common examples include:
-
Unequal pay for comparable work
-
Denial of promotions, leadership roles, or professional opportunities
-
Being assigned less favorable accounts, clients, or shifts
-
Exclusion from decision-making processes or high-value projects
-
Retaliation after reporting or opposing sex-based discrimination
F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC brings a unique advantage to the table: our experience on the employer’s side of these cases gives us deep insight into how companies defend against claims of sex discrimination. We use that knowledge to build strong, strategic cases for our clients—fighting for equal treatment and enforcing your rights under the law.
Don’t Delay—There Are Strict Filing Deadlines
Before filing a lawsuit in court for sex discrimination, employees must first submit a formal charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC). These agencies investigate discrimination claims and may issue a “Right to Sue” letter, which is a prerequisite for taking legal action in many cases.
Because there are strict deadlines—sometimes as short as 180 or 300 days—it’s critical to consult with an experienced Las Vegas employment discrimination attorney as soon as possible if you believe your rights have been violated.
Retaliation Is Also Illegal
Employees who speak out about sex discrimination often face retaliation from their employers. This might include being demoted, excluded, reassigned, or even fired. Federal and state laws prohibit retaliation for reporting, opposing, or participating in proceedings related to workplace discrimination. If you've suffered backlash after making a complaint, you may have a separate claim for unlawful retaliation in addition to your discrimination case.
