A woman sued her former employer in state court for which type of claims?

The correct answer pertains to claims that can be brought under various employment discrimination laws, which typically offer protections based on age, sex, race, and other characteristics. In this context, age and sex discrimination claims are often filed under federal laws like the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as well as corresponding state laws. These types of claims focus on the employer’s actions that negatively impact the employee's treatment or opportunities based on their age or gender.

While employment contract violations, harassment, and wrongful termination are also significant claims that can arise in the employment context, they address different legal issues. Employment contract violations typically involve breaches of the terms outlined in an employment agreement. Harassment claims encompass a range of behaviors that create a hostile work environment and can be based on various factors, including but not limited to gender or race. Wrongful termination pertains to the circumstances surrounding an employee's dismissal, which may be unlawful under specific statutes or policies.

The claims of age and sex discrimination, however, are particularly defined by statutory protections that have specific processes and remedies, making them a foundational aspect of employment law as it pertains to discrimination in the workplace.
