New Hampshire Gender Discrimination Lawyer

Paving the Way for Gender Equality in the Workplace Since 1997

Gender discrimination is not new and occurs frequently in New Hampshire. According to the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights, the state agency responsible for investigating such claims, gender discrimination is one of the more common forms of unlawful employment discrimination. In the United States, there were over 28,000 complaints of gender discrimination filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for 2008. Our New Hampshire gender discrimination lawyers want to successfully resolve your claim. At Douglas, Leonard & Garvey, P.C., we understand the sensitive and difficult nature of these cases and the emotional upset caused by the discrimination.

What Does Gender Discrimination in the Workplace Entail?

It is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her sex in regards to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. Employment decisions based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals on the basis of sex are also not allowed.
