0Human Resources shares information on employee rights against discrimination
The Office of Human Resources has released a new easy-to-follow resource to help university employees better understand their rights to work free of discrimination. University employees are encouraged to learn more about your rights. To access this information, click here.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws that protect employees from discrimination in the workplace. For example, employers cannot make job decisions based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, disability, or genetic information. It also is illegal for employers to discriminate against workers based on age.
If you would like more information or have questions, contact Human Resources at (352) 588-7226 or HR@saintleo.edu.
