Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act — governing statute and protected classes
Wyoming prohibits employment discrimination under the Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act of 1965 (Wyo. Stat. §§ 27-9-101 through 27-9-106). The Act makes it unlawful for employers to refuse to hire, discharge, promote, demote, or discriminate in compensation or terms of employment based on age (40 and over), sex, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, or disability (when the individual is a "qualified disabled person" capable of performing the job with or without reasonable accommodation). The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Labor Standards Office enforces the Act.

Employer coverage threshold — 2 or more employees
The Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act applies to any person employing two or more employees within the state, including the state of Wyoming itself and any political subdivision, board, commission, department, institution, or school district. This two-employee threshold is substantially lower than the federal Title VII floor of fifteen employees, bringing state anti-discrimination protections to very small employers. The Act excludes religious organizations and associations from the definition of "employer."
