Federal Laws Protect You Against Employment Discrimination During the COVID-19 Pandemic

"Federal laws protect you against employment discrimination. This Fact Sheet explains how these laws provide rights that can help protect you at work during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are especially important if you are being harassed, if you are “high-risk” and need extra protection from getting sick, if your employer is not allowing you to work, or if you need a modification of your employer’s COVID-19 safety requirements. These laws protect you from retaliation for asserting your (or your coworkers’) rights to be free from discrimination."
