Employer defined
“Employer” does not include any employer with fewer than six persons in its employ, but does include the state and all political subdivisions, boards, departments and commissions. The term also does not include a club exclusively social, or a fraternal, charitable, educational or religious association or corporation, if such club, association or corporation is not organized for private profit.
In determining whether an individual is a covered employee, the commission will determine whether an employer-employee relationship exists when:
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices and exemptions are similar to those under the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex. For example, the state law requires employers to treat disabilities caused by pregnancy in the same manner in which other disabilities are treated.
Posting
Every covered employer or entity must post in a conspicuous place or places on his premises a notice prepared or approved by the Commission for Human Rights which sets forth excerpts of the Law Against Discrimination and other relevant information necessary to explain the law.
