Employment Opportunities
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended protects applicants and employees from discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), or national origin. Religious discrimination includes failing to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious practices where the accommodation does not impose undue hardship. and the West Virginia human rights commission. Jefferson County also protects those with disabilities, employees age 40 years or older from discrimination, sexual discrimination and genetic discrimination.
All of these federal laws prohibit covered entities such as Jefferson County from retaliating against a person who files a charge of discrimination, participates in discrimination, or otherwise opposes an unlawful employment practice.
