EEOC says parental status discrimination is illegal under executive order

Many people are aware of the prevalence of discrimination based on age, race or religious beliefs. However, workers are subjected to many other types of discrimination, such as parental status discrimination. If you think that you have been discriminated against based on your parental status, you should consider your options.

EEOC says Executive Order 13152 prohibits parental status discrimination

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Executive Order 13152 prohibits parental status discrimination. The EEOC does not include parental status discrimination as a covered basis when enforcing discrimination laws. However, this form of discrimination may constitute disability or sex discrimination, depending on what happened. Additionally, it is illegal for the federal government to discriminate against employees and job applicants on the basis of parental status.

If you have children discrimination based on your parental status can be especially troubling. Whether your hours were cut, you were denied a job, or you were fired because of your parental responsibilities, discrimination is financially and emotionally draining. If your employer violated your rights, you can hold your employer accountable.
