Understand Title VII anti-discrimination requirements
What you'll be able to do
•Identify the protected characteristics covered by Title VII (race, color, religion, sex, and national origin) and the employer actions the law reaches
•Distinguish disparate treatment from disparate impact and recognize how each shows up in real decisions
•Recognize religious accommodation and harassment situations early enough to respond appropriately
•Make hiring, discipline, and promotion decisions you can document and defend on job-related grounds
Who it's for
Managers and supervisors who make or influence employment decisions, and anyone who fields complaints about unfair treatment. Foundational for new leaders who have never had formal exposure to federal anti-discrimination law.
What changes on the job
•Employment decisions grounded in job-related reasons rather than assumptions
•Earlier, more appropriate responses to harassment or accommodation requests
•Cleaner documentation that holds up if a decision is ever questioned

How is this different from the ADA and Equal Pay courses?
Title VII covers race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The ADA course addresses disability, and the Equal Pay Act course addresses wage discrimination by sex. Together they cover the core federal protections a manager should know.
How long is it?
About 20 minutes, self-paced. It works as a foundation before the more specific compliance courses in this track.
Do I need this if HR handles complaints?
Yes. Managers often make the decisions and hear the first complaints that create Title VII exposure, long before HR is involved.
