Various laws protect employees from revenge, discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Anti-discrimination laws provide protections to employees who have been a victim of discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy (including childbirth), age (40 years or older), and disability. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits this type of illegal conduct in any aspect of employment including hiring and firing decisions; job assignments; promotions; salaries; employee benefits; job training; and separation from employment. In addition to Federal law some states also provide protections on the basis of religion, sexual orientation , gender identity or expression. Harassment based on these grounds can lead to legal liabilities for employers if found in violation Employers should implement clear anti-discrimination policies, provide regular training to their managers regarding harassment laws and procedures for reporting any issues within their organization.
