Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that was enacted in July 2 of 1964 (The Law). This law bans the discrimination in employment in regards to the sex, race, color, national origin, and religion of the applicant. Title VII applies to all companies and employers that hire 15 or more employees. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 covers public, private, and government sectors. At the government level, Title VII of the CRA of 1964 protects employees in federal, state, and local governments. Also, the law regulates all public and private colleges, staffing agencies, and organizations. The federal law clearly states that it is unlawful for any employer to refuse to hire or discharge a person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This also means that a person cannot be denied compensation that they are entitled to. Title VII includes protection in regards to recruiting, hiring, promotion, harassment, hostile work environment, compensation, privileges, segregation, classification of employees, and retaliation from employers.

When it comes to recruiting, hiring, and promotion of applicants and employees, the employer has to fair and treat all applicants the same no matter what their race or color may be. Employers are not allowed to use sources that only a certain race or color of applicants have access to. Their sources need to be widely available to everyone. Second, a job requirement needs to correlate with the actual job requirement or job performance in order for it to be valid.
