Gender Discrimination

Washington and Idaho Gender Discrimination Lawyers

Gender or sex discrimination is best described as an inequality in the treatment of male and female employees by an employer. Differences can be subtle, and may include failure to promote, wage-scale differences and unequal pay, or favorable work schedules provided specifically to either men or women. Regardless of the form that gender discrimination takes, it is a violation of employee rights.

For years, the attorneys at the Law Office of Christine M. Weaver have handled cases of female and male sex discrimination, including pregnancy discrimination. Our practice concentrates on employment law matters such as gender discrimination, and we regularly advise employers to help them comply with the law. This gives us the knowledge and insight to assess your case.

The term "glass ceiling" refers to a level within a company above which certain individuals cannot rise because of their gender. It may involve a particular pay level or a specific position. The barrier may not be readily visible, but many employees, particularly women, are keenly aware of its existence. Glass ceilings are a prime example of gender discrimination.

Our lawyers are committed to representing employees who have been discriminated against on the basis of gender. We also counsel employers to structure policies that will avoid such actions. Because we are litigators, we do not shy away from taking your case to court. We understand that not all cases can be resolved amicably through settlement negotiations. When necessary, our attorneys will assert your rights in court.
