The Fair Employment Practices Act

The Fair Employment Practices Act is a law designed to prevent discrimination in the workplace. It prohibits unfair treatment based on characteristics like race, gender, age, religion, or disability during hiring, firing, promotions, and other employment practices. Its goal is to promote equality and ensure that everyone has a fair chance to succeed in their jobs, regardless of their background. Employers are required to create a work environment free from discrimination and harassment, fostering diversity and inclusion in the workforce. Enforcement of this act is typically carried out by government agencies that investigate complaints.
