Kentucky Employment Law Attorneys.

Everyone deserves a safe, fair workplace free from discrimination or harassment. Both state and federal laws protect workers in Kentucky and Tennessee from discrimination, sexual harassment, and a host of other illegal workplace practices.

If you feel you have faced discrimination at work, our team at Freeman Childers can help you understand your legal rights and take any necessary legal action. With over 100 years of combined legal experience, our lawyers have a deep understanding of the complex world of employment law.

In Kentucky, employers cannot discriminate against an employee based on their:

Color or race
National origin
Religion
Sex
Pregnancy
Age
Disability

Employers cannot take any negative action against employees for any of the above.

One of the most devastating forms of discrimination is a wrongful termination. If you made a complaint to your employer about any violation of the law, your employer is not allowed to retaliate against you for asserting your rights by firing you or taking other negative action against you.

Reach out today to discuss your claim and the next steps to take.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a particular form of discrimination that includes singling someone out based on their sex and targeting them with unwanted comments, images, touching, or propositioning for a romantic or sexual relationship. Although this most commonly involves male co-workers targeting a female employee, it can involve the reverse situation or two employees of the same gender.

Establishing a case for harassment is not as simple as it may seem. You must show that the situation created a hostile work environment for you, which could require more than one instance, unless that instance is especially egregious, as well as your employer’s failure to take action on your behalf.
