Under the Missouri Human Rights Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against you because of your gender. Pursuing a case for discrimination is different than other types of cases. There is a specific process one must follow to preserve his or her right to sue in court (see our Employment Discrimination page for more details). The gender discrimination suit process can be complicated. It may be extremely beneficial to have an experienced employment law attorney fighting for you through the complaint process and in your lawsuit. How the Charge is completed may affect who the employee can sue; where they can sue; as well as the compensation they may be eligible to receive.
