FAQ
“Employer” does not include the federal government or a non-profit religious association or corporation. Who can file a complaint of employment discrimination?
The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was enacted as part of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as did the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees and job applicants from discrimination based on religion. Title VII also requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of an employee or prospective employee, unless doing so would create an “undue hardship” on the employer.
It prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion and national origin. However, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not protect people with disabilities.
Title VII applies to employers in both the private and public sectors that have 15 or more employees. It also applies to the federal government, employment agencies, and labor organizations. Title VII is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not cover federal employees or independent contractors. However, federal employees are protected against discrimination by other federal anti-discrimination laws.
