Title 45, Chapter 19, Section 29
( 45-19-29)
It is an unlawful practice for an employer: (1) To fail or refuse to hire, to discharge, or otherwise to
discriminate against any individual with respect to the
individual's compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of
employment because of such individual's race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, disability, or age; (2) To limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way
which would deprive or tend to deprive an individual of employment
opportunities or otherwise adversely affect an individual's status
as an employee because of such individual's race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, disability, or age; or (3) To hire, promote, advance, segregate, or affirmatively hire an
individual solely because of race, color, religion, national
origin, sex, disability, or age, but this paragraph shall not
prohibit an employer from voluntarily adopting and carrying out a
plan to fill vacancies or hire new employees in a manner to
eliminate or reduce imbalance in employment with respect to race,
color, disability, religion, sex, national origin, or age if the
plan has first been filed with the administrator for review and
comment for a period of not less than 30 days. |
