In Texas, discrimination by employers that is based on gender is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1963 and the Equal Pay Act. Accordingly, gender may not be the basis for any employer decisions regarding pay, hiring policies, or promotion requirements. They must also ensure that the workplace environment is not hostile to a particular gender and that it is not overly sexual.
What Must be Proven in a Discrimination Claim?
The Equal Pay Act allows discrimination to be proven if it can be shown that both men and women work for the same employer doing the same tasks, and yet are paid differently. Employers in Arlington will also be held liable in a discrimination claim if their hiring and promotion policies favor one gender, or if the they take retaliatory action against a worker who files a complaint against their employer.
When is Sexual Harassment Prohibited?
Any unwelcome sexual behavior directed at the victim, including physical or verbal acts, is considered to be sexual harassment. Employers in Arlington might also be liable for the behavior, even when the conduct was done by an employee's co-worker.
Texas employers can also be held liable for sexual harassment if it allows conduct that leads to an overly sexual work environment. Without a lawyer, it can be difficult to prove gender discrimination because the details in proving intent are often complicated. Also, there can be specific procedures that must be closely followed in pursuing a claim.
Extremely knowledgeable and professional, fully understood what I was going through as well as answering all my questions completely and informative.
They were amazing got me a settlement kept in contact with me
I understand many lawyers are very busy, But Howard Bender, busy as he is, responded quickly and professionally. My impression is he is a man of his word.
I know with all the high ratings I've given, one may question if it's authentic but it is. My case was a uphill battle from the start that I'm not sure how I would have got anything in my favor if it were not for Mr. Taylor. Very well manner, clean cut, presentable, educated and most important to those viewing this, knowledgeable person. I hope to never go through an ordeal which may require legal action again but if it presents itself, Mr. Taylor is my first and only call. Take the best chance and believe in Mr. Taylor as I did.
