As a general matter, an employer covered by Title VII is not allowed to fire, refuse to hire, or take assignments away from someone (or discriminate in any other way) because customers or clients would prefer to work with people who have a different sexual orientation or gender identity.
Examples of Title VII violations include: Making sexist comments that a woman belongs in the kitchen as opposed to an office. Denying a job offer to an African American job applicant who is as qualified as the Caucasian applicant you hired. Refusing to allow Muslims prayer time throughout the day.
Simply put, Title VII does not apply to every employer. In fact, as a general rule, it typically only covers private and public sector employers with 15 or more employees. These employees may include: Part-time employees.
1 Title VII and the ADA apply to employers (including employment agencies and unions) with 15 or more employees, and to federal, state, and local governments.
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.
Employers of five or more are subject to the FEHA's prohibition against employment discrimination. Harassment is prohibited in all workplaces, even those with only one employee or independent contractor on staff. “Employer” does not include the federal government or a non-profit religious association or corporation.
It provides that a religious corporation, association, educational institution, or society is exempt from the provisions of Title VII that prohibit discrimination based on religion in the workplace.
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.
