Experienced Attorneys Fighting Against Gender And LGBTQ+ Discrimination In Denver

Facing bias in the workplace because of who you are is not just deeply unfair; it is also illegal. If you are an LGBTQ+ individual or someone who has faced gender discrimination on the job, you already know how isolating and stressful that experience can be.

At Colorado Employee Advocates, our attorneys understand the weight of that situation, and we want you to know that you do not have to carry it alone. Our lawyers are ready to help you fight back with the full force of the law.

Colorado’s Protections Under CADA And EPEWA

Colorado has built some of the most progressive workplace protections in the nation. The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) explicitly prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Employers in Denver and across Colorado must treat all workers fairly, regardless of how they identify or present themselves.

Under Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (EPEWA), employers are prohibited from paying employees of different genders differently for substantially similar work, unless the pay differential is based on specific, objective factors such as seniority, merit or geographic location. Together, CADA and EPEWA form a solid legal foundation for workers who have receive unfair treatment.

Recognizing Gender Discrimination In The Workplace

Gender discrimination does not always look the same. In some cases, it is obvious. In others, it is buried beneath professional language and policy justifications. Common examples include:

• Employee termination after disclosing your sexual orientation or gender identity
• Demotion following a transition or change in gender expression
• Denial of a promotion that went to a less-qualified colleague
• Receiving lower pay than co-workers performing the same role
• Enduring a hostile work environment built on harassment or exclusion

If any of these situations resemble what you are experiencing, you have legal options worth exploring.
