Laws have been passed under both Nevada and federal governments which prohibit discriminating on the basis of defined protected characteristics. Employers in the city of Boulder City, whether public or private, may be held liable under federal and state laws depending on the type of trait first prompted the discrimination.

How Does Employment Discrimination Occur?

Employment discrimination is when an employer treats you unfairly because you belong to a legally protected class. Some traits which employers are not allowed to evaluate employees with are: race, age, national origin, religion, familial status, and gender. The plaintiff must prove that their employer intended to treat them unfairly because of their protected status in order to prevail on a discrimination claim in Boulder City, Nevada.

How can Employment Discrimination be Proven in Nevada?

It may also be shown when there is testimony regarding specific employer statements that a reasonable person would define as biased. Additionally, employers are in clear violation of the law when they fire someone or retaliate against them because they filed a discrimination lawsuit.
