The Dual Loyalty Dilemma for HR Managers Under Title VII Compliance

摘要

Responsibility for compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which aims to erase employment discrimination, was intended to rest with employers. The Act prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who allege discrimination. However, the courts exclude managers, particularly HR managers, from this retaliation protection, so that HR managers are unlikely to undertake employee advocacy. Clearly, the courts need to change their interpretation in order to improve corporate internal compliance efforts.
