Virginia Fair Employment Act

The Virginia Fair Employment Act prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and other protected categories. It ensures equal opportunity in hiring, firing, promotions, and other employment practices. The law also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities and to prevent harassment or unfair treatment. Its goal is to create a fair, inclusive workplace where everyone has an equal chance to succeed, free from discrimination or bias.
