What is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and who does it cover?
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the federal law prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity after Bostock v. Clayton County), and national origin. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees, employment agencies, and labor unions. The EEOC enforces Title VII, and remedies include back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, punitive damages (capped by employer size), and equitable relief.
