(a) City management may not discharge an individual, fail or refuse to hire an individual, or otherwise discriminate against an individual with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of the individual's race, color, age, religion, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic characteristics, national origin, disability, military or veteran status, political opinions, or affiliations, nor shall city management take retaliatory action against an employee who makes a protected complaint of discrimination based on these categories. Nothing in this subsection extends any employee benefits, including but not limited to paid or unpaid leave, medical benefits, or pension benefits, to any individual who is ineligible for those benefits under any other provision of this chapter, the city's master health plan, the employees' retirement fund program, or the police and fire pension system or under any other city ordinance or resolution or state or federal law.
(b) City management may not limit, segregate, or classify employees or applicants for employment in a way that would deprive or tend to deprive an individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect an employee’s status because of the individual’s race, color, age, religion, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic characteristics, national origin, disability, military or veteran status, political opinions, or affiliations.
