Sex Discrimination

Title VII makes sexual discrimination, i.e., using gender as a reason for making workplace employment decisions, illegal.  Every employer practice and policy must be put under the legal microscope to ferret out sex discrimination. Among the most common triggers for sexual discrimination charges are hiring interview questions, old boy network promotions, favoritism in assignments, gender stereotypes, and issues surrounding sexual orientation.
