Workplace Discrimination Legal Guide

Summary

The Missouri Human Rights Act prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, ancestry, age, or disability. It applies to employers with six or more employees, including state and local governments. Missouri is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can terminate employees for any reason or no reason, but not for discriminatory reasons. If you believe you are a victim of discrimination, you can file a complaint with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights. When buying a house in Missouri, consider hiring a real estate attorney, performing a title search, and finalizing mortgage terms.
