Employer defined
“Employer” means any person who has 15 or more employees for each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year, and any agent of such a person, but does not include an Indian tribe or a bona fide private membership club other than a labor organization.
Unlawful employment practices
The state law does not include sexual harassment provisions such as those in the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex. However, sexual harassment could be enforced as a form of gender discrimination. Also, the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex provisions would apply to covered employers.
