| Summary: | This brochure presents regulatory guidelines on sex discrimination with sections devoted to: general principles; sex as a bona fide occupational qualification; separate lines of progression and seniority systems; discrimination against married women; advertising job opportunities; employment agencies; pre-employment inquiries as to sex; the relationship of Title VII to the Equal Pay Act; fringe benefits; and employment policies relating to pregnancy and childbirth. Delineating sex as a bona fide qualification in occupational hiring is a major thrust of the document. Interpreted narrowly, occupational discrimination is manifested by (1) sex labels which tend to deny employment unnecessarily to one sex or another; (2) assumptions on comparative employment characteristics, such as"the turnover rate is higher for women than men"; (3) stereotyped sex characterizations (i.e., "men are less able to assemble intricate equipment"); and (4) preferences of coworkers, employers, clients, or customers. Authenticity or genuineness--e.g., an actor or actress--will be considered as a bona fide occupational qualification. The brochure revises Title 29, Chapter 14, Part 1604 of the Code of Federal Regulations. (NH) |
