Toxic behaviors can be damaging to a workplace and can cause unnecessary and unwarranted strife for workers. Nebraska workplaces need to be free of discrimination and harassment and no employee should be punished for standing up for themselves or other workers. Any worker who has their rights violated can seek compensation if they can prove their employer acted unlawfully.

Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission (NEOC)

The Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission was established in 1965 to ensure workers are not tolerating a hostile work environment and to ensure landlords are not engaging in workplace discrimination. The agency receives complaints and investigates to determine if any action should be taken. If a claim has merit, the NEOC can impose fines on an employer, and they may be ordered to compensate a harassment victim or victims for their emotional distress and lost wages. The agency handles discrimination and harassment for the following:

Employment
Housing
Public Accommodations

Employment Law in Nebraska

Under federal and Nebraska law, it is unlawful to discriminate against any employee based on their race, sex, religion, age, country of origin, or pregnancy. Nebraska’s employment discrimination and wage laws apply to workplaces with more than 15 employees and include for-profit businesses and non-profits.

Wage Discrimination or Fraud

Under the Equal Pay Act, employers are forbidden from paying a person less because of their sex. Employers are also prohibited from refusing to pay an employee for hours worked, skimming their pay, or refusing to pay overtime wages.
