Title VII of the civil rights act prohibits illegal discrimination in the workplace
Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act as amended prohibits discrimination of an employee or employee applicant based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, or marital status.
The Civil Rights Act includes all employers from either public or private sectors, at both the federal or state level, so long as the organization employs 15 or more people.
Should an employer retaliate against an employee for filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) based on a discrimination claim, the employee has a right to sue the employer for damages.
