Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” includes the state and all political subdivisions of the state and any person in this state employing four or more individuals, and any person acting in the interest of an employer directly or indirectly.
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices are similar to those under the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex. For example, the state law includes similar descriptions of what constitutes sexual harassment.
In addition to state anti-discrimination statutes, the Commission for Human Rights maintains agreements with the federal government and investigates specific cases under both jurisdictions. Under an agreement with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the state Commission is authorized to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Posting
Every covered employer, employment agency, and labor union must post in a conspicuous place or places on his or her premises a notice prepared or approved by the Commission for Human Rights which sets forth excerpts of this law and other relevant information which the Commission deems necessary.
