The U.S. Supreme Court's 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County established that Title VII's prohibition on sex discrimination includes discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Utah's Anti-Discrimination Act provides additional protections. We help employers build inclusive workplace policies that comply with federal and state requirements and create environments where all employees are treated with dignity.
Federal and State Compliance Requirements
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, which now includes sexual orientation and gender identity under Bostock. The Equal Pay Act prohibits pay discrimination based on sex. Utah's Anti-Discrimination Act adds state-level protections for workplaces with 15 or more employees. We help employers understand and implement these requirements.
Building Inclusive Workplace Policies
Compliance starts with clear policies — non-discrimination statements, equal opportunity commitments, accommodation procedures, and complaint resolution processes. We draft policy language, review existing handbooks, and advise on best practices for building a workplace culture that meets legal requirements and reflects your organization's values.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are my obligations as a Utah employer regarding LGBTQ+ employees?
Under federal law (Title VII as interpreted in Bostock) and Utah's Anti-Discrimination Act, employers with 15+ employees cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. This means your policies, hiring practices, and workplace conduct standards must be inclusive. We help employers audit and update their practices to ensure compliance.
