Define the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification allowed under Title VII? Are grooming and clothing requirement of a religious practice protected under Title VII? How does the freedom of association right factor into Title VII?
Expert Answer
Bona Fide Occupational Qualification is the attribute that employers are allowed to consider when hiring and retention of employees – a quality that when considered in other contexts would constitute discrimination and thus be in violation of civil rights employment law. But those qualifications must be listed in the employment offering.
In employment discrimination law in the United States, both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act contain a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification.
And grooming and clothing requirement of a religious practice are protected under this.
