policy
Download

Although federal law does not expressly include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected characteristics under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in June 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court held that employment discrimination against individuals based on sexual orientation or transgender status is sex discrimination that violates Title VII. This comprehensive "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity" policy document includes practical considerations for drafting your policy, and a detailed sample policy you can use as a template to develop a policy appropriate for your company.
