Employment Laws
The significance of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is related to the prohibition of racial discrimination in all public places. From here on, any such discrimination in schools, the workplace, theatres or restaurants became illegal. From a business perspective, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act was important in establishing that employment discrimination was also prohibited. From now on, members of the African-American community would be provided with equal opportunities at the workplace and in their career.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination at the workplace and is applied in different areas of the employee-employer relationship.

From the employee point-of-view, Title VII refers to most actions within the company, from hiring and discharging to the compensation offered.
Adverse impact can be defined as "a difference between certain identified groups in the effect of assessment and evaluation results on personnel decisions."

Reasonable accommodation refers to "an adjustment to job duties, performance methods, and/or work setting or service delivery to meet the individualized need of an individual, applicant or employee with a disability."
