                                      SOME  BASIC  POINTS
1. Employers cannot consider factors such as race, color, religion, disability, age, gender or pregnancy when interviewing and making hiring decisions.
2. Federal law establishes minimum wage and overtime rules to cover most, but not all, employees.
Maryland also has its own minimum wage laws and they are consistent with Federal laws.
3. Employers must provide safe working environments.
4. All forms of harassment in the workplace are illegal pursuant to Federal law.
5. Like most states in the United States, Maryland is an at-will employment jurisdiction. Unless an employment contract specifically states otherwise, either party (employee or employer) may end the employment relationship for almost any reason. Employers cannot, however, terminate employees for illegal reasons such as discriminatory issues based on age, gender, race, national origin, or disability, sexual orientation, religion, etc.
