Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of sex, which includes the classification of jobs as male or female. Employers cannot use sex as a factor in hiring, promotion, or compensation decisions. They also cannot segregate employees by sex unless it is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) that is reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, such as jobs in which biological sex is a BFOQ, such as some positions in the entertainment industry.
