What is the Equal Opportunity Act and how do I comply?
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (“Title VII”), prohibits discrimination in employment based on certain protected classifications, including race, color, sex, pregnancy, religion, national origin, age (40 or older), and disability. Many states have individual laws that prohibit discrimination in employment as well. Therefore, under Title VII and certain states’ laws, employers are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of sex with respect to hiring. For more detailed information click here.
