Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

Employer defined

“Employer” includes the state, any political subdivision of the state, any person employing four or more persons within the state, and any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer.

Unlawful employment practices

The unlawful employment practices and exemptions are similar to those under the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of National Origin. For example, the state law includes an exemption for a bona fide occupational qualification.

Posting

Every covered person must post in a conspicuous place or places on his premises a notice prepared or approved by the Civil Rights Commission that sets forth excerpts of the law and other relevant information that the Commission deems necessary.
