The NEOC is authorized to enforce the following statutes: Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act (FEPA); Nebraska Age Discrimination in Employment Act (Age Act); Equal Pay Act; Nebraska Fair Housing Act; and the Act Providing Equal Enjoyment of Public Accommodations. (PA Act)
For a summary of the laws, the text of the law, and the text of the rules and regulations regarding the laws, please click the law you wish to examine further:
Discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy), disability, or marital status is prohibited in Nebraska. In general, covered entities include most private and non-profit employers with 15 or more employees, state and local government subdivisions of any size, employment agencies and labor organizations.
Unlawful employment practices generally include discrimination in the area of hiring and promotion (e.g., classification, recruitment, selection); compensation (pay and benefits); discipline (including termination); and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment (e.g., training and development, relationships and associations, accommodation of disabilities and religious beliefs, freedom from workplace harassment).
The FEPA law also contains provisions barring retaliation. Anyone who has opposed any practice made unlawful by the statutes or who has participated in any manner in any proceeding to enforce the statutes is protected.
In addition, if an individual complains about, or refuses to participate in, activity which is unlawful under state or federal laws, and the employer takes negative action, that individual may file with us under the provisions of Section 48-1114(3).
There is a filing deadline. From the date of any alleged harm, the time limit for a FEPA charge is 300 days. Federal filing deadlines may be different. However, if you believe you have been discriminated against, do not wait too long.
