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 are similar to those under the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex. The descriptions of what constitutes sexual harassment, and how it will be determined, are nearly identical to the federal guidelines.
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.
