Event Details

On January 20, 2016, the New York State Division of Human Rights adopted regulations that includes discrimination based upon gender identity or transgendered status within the definition of sex discrimination under the New York State Human Rights Law. Additionally, the EEOC  Strategic Enforcement Plan lists discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals as an enforcement priority. Although many employers may not have encountered transgendered employees in the past, studies report that as much as 5% of the population is transgendered, and the percentage could be higher. Now that transgendered individuals have protected status under the law, they may feel more comfortable revealing their status to employers. Employers and businesses need to know their obligations under the law.

• Learn legal requirements and best practices for accommodating transgendered employees
• Learn how to address issues related to public accommodations for transgendered customers
• Learn how to traverse conflicts that may arise when addressing these issues
