Document Summary
Q: fired because boss didn"t like how he dressed. Q: employees have facebook conversation about stupid dress code, next day fired. Civil rights act - protects against discrimination in any way; hiring, scheduling, working, firing, promoting. We are discussing federal laws but state laws exist too. Discrimination doesn"t have to come from being a minority. Quid pro quo - "this for that"; have to do this for employment, raise, etc. File change with eeoc -> eeoc investigates -> right to sue letter. Employer has taken adverse action or won"t make reasonable accommodation. No federal law prohibits discrimination for smoking or for sexual orientation. Applies to firing and terms of employment - not necessarily hiring. Have to require at certain age if executive = okay. Q: manager likes employee, tells him that if they go on a date, she"ll speak up for him.
