Employer discrimination cases in Colorado are on the rise. Across the entire United States, employers are continuously being sued for discrimination. The EEOC is currently backlogged because of numerous claims filed by employees. We advise our Colorado employers to never say, "It won't happen to us". This thought is unrealistic. Read the most recent stem of employment law cases filed against employers.

The Federal laws prohibiting job discrimination are:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;
the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination;
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older;

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces all of these laws. EEOC also provides oversight and coordination of all federal equal employment opportunity regulations, practices, and policies. Our Colorado emplyment law attorneys can provide training in these specific areas of law. For your information you can also listen to how a claim is filed by an employee from the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

Employers should adopt "best practices" to reduce the likelihood of discrimination and to address impediments to equal employment opportunity. If you are subjected to a claim for race discrimination in Denver or Colorado, contact our employment defense attorneys for immediate help.

Dos and Don'ts for Employers

Employment discrimination is a complex problem. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission handles between 75,000 and 80,000 employment discrimination claims each year.

Employers should treat all employees in an equal and unbiased manner. Never treat certain employees less favorably than others because of their affiliation with a protected class such as race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, pregnancy, military service, national origin or disability.

As part our comprehensive Colorado employment defense practice, we also represent employers that are involve in EEOC investigations and complaints.
