Michigan Job Discrimination Laws
Two Primary Michigan Laws
In Michigan, the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) and the Persons With Disabilities Civil Rights Act (PWDCRA) prohibit employment discrimination.
These two critically important Michigan laws prohibit discrimination in the following areas:
- Employment
- Housing
- Education
- Public accommodations
- Law enforcement
- Public services
Michigan law prohibits discrimination based upon:
- Race
- Color
- National Origin
- Sex (including pregnancy and sexual harassment)
- Age
- Religion
- Disability
- Height
- Weight
- Marital Status
- Familial Status
- Arrest Record
- Retaliation (for making a complaint or reporting discrimination)
Under state law, the prohibition against height and weight discrimination only applies to employment, while the prohibition against familial status discrimination only applies to housing.
Michigan Law Applies to All Employers
The state Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) and the Persons With Disabilities Civil Rights Act (PWDCRA) apply to any employer, public or private, with one or more employees.
Time Limits
A victim of unlawful discrimination has a limited time to file a complaint with the federal or state enforcement agency or with the court.
If you or a loved one has experienced employment discrimination, it is important to talk with a Michigan employment discrimination lawyer with experience in Michigan and federal employment law. Please submit a simple, free and confidential legal consultation form now.
