“I was so pleased working with Pines Federal. I had peace of mind knowing I would not have to deal with the federal agency and all was taken care of by Pines. They are professional and responsive. I was very happy with the outcome of my case. Hiring Pines was the best decision I made.”

Gender Discrimination in the Workplace
Gender discrimination cases are complex because gender discrimination can be manifested in many ways within the workplace. Federal employers act as at-will employers, which means they can terminate an employee for any legal reason. While a federal employer may terminate an employee for nearly any reason, they must ensure they have not violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Federal Labor Code. These laws provide protections to ensure employers don’t discriminate based on gender or sex.
Gender discrimination happens in the workplace in ways that may be considered subtle. However, these common examples are seen in workplaces across the country:
- Gender salary inequality when both parties are equally qualified to perform the assigned task
- Employers encourage gender-based stereotypes regarding dress, behavior, and actions
- Gender-based hiring, firing, promoting, and suspension
