Civil Rights in Employment

Meaning

Civil Rights in Employment refers to the comprehensive body of legal statutes and judicial precedents that guarantee every individual the right to fair and non-discriminatory treatment throughout all aspects of the professional lifecycle. This includes protection from adverse actions related to hiring, promotion, compensation, and termination based on protected characteristics, which is particularly relevant to employees with endocrine disorders classified as disabilities. These rights affirm the fundamental principle of equal opportunity and merit-based employment decisions.
