Title VII and its Application to the Workplace

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how America's working environment might be if the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had not been enacted. Title VII is one section of the Act that prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, or national origin. This paper highlights the evolution of Title VII, its impact in the workplace, discusses who is covered and who is not, and examines what types of policies a company should implement to avoid violations of Title VII.

From the Paper:

"This act protects all employees, regardless of classification or managerial level, in both the private and government sectors. In 1991, the act extended to all U.S. citizens employed by American employers outside the United States, except where it violated the law of the hosting country (Bennett-Alexander et al., 2003). In addition, it also protects foreign nationals employed within the United States and its protectorates. Unfortunately this act does not cover everyone. Employers with less than 15 employees are not require to follow the guidelines set by Title VII."
