What laws protect employees from workplace discrimination?

Employees are protected from workplace discrimination by federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Equal Pay Act. Michigan has its own state laws protecting employees from workplace discrimination. The Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) is Michigan's main anti-discrimination law, and it prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, height, weight, familial status, or marital status. ELCRA also provides protections against discrimination in housing, education, and public accommodations. Additionally, Michigan has other state laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability, military status, and other protected categories.
