Legal Question


english only speaking rule

does this policy meet the legal requirements?

Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964 permits employers to adapt an English only speaking rule under certain circumstances due to business necessity. To effectively communicate with our customers we are implementing an English only speaking policy on the sales floor. This policy is necessary to better assist our customers, communicate with coworker, and management. Employees are free to speak the language of their choice on break or in any other area not related to the sales floor. Failure to follow this police will result in disciplinary action.
