The cases filed at The Cross Company related to gender discrimination include one in which a 33-year-old sales representative was not selected for a promotion in spite of receiving excellent performance evaluations each year. She has worked for the company for more than 8 years while Jim, a 26-year-old, was selected for the position although he has only served The Cross Company for 18 months. Which of the following laws may apply to this case?a) Age Discrimination Actb) The Equity Actc) Title VII of CRAd) ADAAAe) Rehabilitation Act

Answer 1

Answer:

Title VII of the CRA

Explanation:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (CRA) is a landmark federal law that aims to protect employees against discrimination based on race, colour, sex, nation of origin, or religion.

The act was made law in 1964.

In the given scenario a female sales representative with excellent performance review was not promoted for 8 years, while Jim a male sales representative was promoted in just 18 months.

This is a gender based discrimination and is covered by Title VII of the CRA.

Age discrimination does not apply because it addresses discrimination of employees with minimum age of 40 years.

Equity act requires that employees on the same job role are compensated equally. This does not also apply.

Rehabilitation act prevents discrimination based on disability. This does not also apply
