IntroductionThe purpose of this assignment is to evaluate whether or not Gelato Cheese Company needs to make changes to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Age Discrimination Act in employment (ADEA). This document will discuss the definition of Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and its application in employment decisions. To get hired at Gelato Cheese Company for housekeeping staff, you must have a high school diploma/or GED equivalent and currently, the company's entire housekeeping staff is under the age of 30 and white. casoGelato Cheese Company is a company that processes cheese and sells it throughout the United States. The company has 200 employees in its processing plant, 85% of whom are white, 15% other, and 83% of its employees are between the ages of 25 and 35. In Heartland Corners, 75 percent of that population has completed high school, and that percentage is white, compared to 25 percent of other minority groups. The question is: How important is this information to evaluating whether Gelato complies with the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits most discrimination and harassment in the workplace. The Title VII provision affects all state, local, and private employees as well as educational institutions that have at least 15 employees or more. The law prohibits any discrimination that may be suffered against individuals on the basis of origin, religion, sex, color, race and national origin (http://topics.hrhero.com/title-vii-of -the-civil -rights-act-of-1964/)....... middle of document ......aw lawsuits filed against them for discrimination. Avoid Discrimination The Gelato's Cheese Company really needs to take a close look at the issues they are facing and may face if they do not make a change in their policy to ensure they are compliant with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and also the 'ADEA. This is really important because they can and may face a discrimination lawsuit. The entire cleaning staff employed at the processing plant is white and under the age of 30. There may be some educational requirements necessary for the job, but if the requirement intentionally eliminates certain racial/ethical groups, it may be in violation of Title VII. It is really important that this company hires its employees based on fairness and not based on their ethnic origin or age.
