Los Angeles Single Language Rules Lawyer

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers and companies are not allowed to discriminate against an individual because of his or her Nation of Origin. Unfortunately, many employers continue to do so through a number of discriminatory practices.

Many employers discriminate against employees and potential employees based on an individual’s first language by passing single language rules for the workplace. Los Angeles discrimination lawyer Perry Smith is here to make sure that employers are brought to justice for these illegal and discriminatory practices.

Single Language Rules and Tests

Companies are not allowed to require that their employees speak a certain language at work, nor are they allowed to require language tests in a certain language.

The only time that these practices are legal and acceptable is when the company or employer can prove that a single language policy has been adopted for non-discriminatory reasons and that the use of one common language is absolutely necessary for the safe and effective operation of the business.

Many employers try and justify discriminatory actions based on the above qualifications, when in fact, the nature of the job(s) in question has no need of a single language policy. Los Angeles language discrimination attorney Perry Smith is here to ensure that employers and companies are acting in a manner truly consistent with employment laws.
