Abstract
Equal employment opportunity has been has been a major concern in American history. Although the nation was founded on the principles of individual merit, hard work and equality; discrimination still persists. Therefore, laws have been enacted to protect those who have been the victims of employment discrimination. A benchmark in employment laws is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Included in Title VII are Equal Opportunity laws prohibiting racial harassment and religious discrimination in the workplace. An employee has filed a formal complaint alleging such charges against his employer. This report investigates the incidents to determine whether the employee had sufficient grounds for the complaints under Title VII Equal Employment Opportunity laws. Due to the gross non-compliance of employment opportunity laws, the investigation concludes that the employee has sufficient evidence of racial harassment and religious discrimination to warrant a formal complaint to the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.
