Even in states where there is no legislation protecting an employee from discrimination related to sexual orientation or gender identity, employers are facing additional issues with employees in these areas. Recent court rulings and analyses offer insight into whether sexual or gender discrimination claims can be made based on gender identity or sexual orientation and we will discuss the facts of these cases, their rulings, as well as additional requirements for multi-state employers and government contractors. Discussions will also address and provide suggested strategies for issues employers are increasingly confronting related to gender identity or sexual orientation, including locker rooms, rest rooms, religion-oriented complaints/disputes, and employee benefit plans.
