Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” includes:
- any person in the state employing four or more persons, and any person acting directly or indirectly for an employer;
- labor organizations;
- nonsectarian corporations;
- organizations engaged in social service work; and
- the state of Kansas and all political and municipal subdivisions
The term does not include a non-profit fraternal or social association or cooperation.
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices and exemptions are similar to those under the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act. For example, disabilities caused or contributed to by pregnancy or related conditions must be treated the same as any other disability for purposes of leave and so on.
Childbearing must be considered by the employer to be a justification for a leave of absence for female employees for a reasonable period of time. Following childbearing, and upon signifying her intent to return within a reasonable time, a female employee must be reinstated to her original job or to a position of like status and pay without loss of service, credits, sonority, or other benefits.
A complaint must be filed within six months after the date of occurrence of the alleged unlawful practice. If the alleged practice is of a continuing nature, the date of occurrence will be deemed to be any date subsequent to the commencement of the practice up to and including the date upon which the practice ceased.
Posting
Every covered entity must post, and keep posted in a conspicuous place, a notice prepared by the Human Rights Commission.
