What protections does Title VII provide in the workplace?

Title VII provides several key protections to employees in the workplace, including:

• Prohibition of discrimination: Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, and other terms and conditions of employment.
• Harassment prevention: Title VII prohibits harassment based on protected characteristics, such as unwelcome sexual advances, offensive remarks about a person's race or religion, or other conduct that creates a hostile work environment.
• Reasonable accommodation: Title VII requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees' religious beliefs or practices, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer's business.
