Federal and state laws combine to prohibit discrimination in employment based on race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, height, weight or sexual orientation. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and is therefore illegal. It is also illegal for anyone to take reprisals against an employee because that employee has filed a discrimination complaint or because an employee has assisted in a complaint proceeding.
