Margaret comes to work in clothes that are highly reflective of her national origin. This happens to violate the dress code of her workplace. After being politely asked to follow the office dress code several times by her supervisor, Margaret is finally asked to return home and change into clothing that conforms to the company’s dress code. Which of the following holds true if Margaret decides to file a discrimination claim based on national origin? A) Margaret has a claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for national origin discrimination because it guarantees her the right to freedom of cultural expression. B) The employer can defend the dress code if it can show that Margaret’s attire overlaps with her religion. C) Margaret’s employer can defend the dress code because Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not require an employer to accommodate an employee’s attire of national origin. D) Margaret has a claim under Title VII the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for national origin discrimination if she can prove that her attire does not encourage other employees to dress casually.

Margaret is hired in an office where a dress code is followed by the employees, but Margaret does not follow the instruction of wearing the dress code in the office. Rather she comes in the dress of her own origin. She was politely asked many times by the supervisor to come in the dress code of the office, but after so many times, she didn't obey the rule. So she was finally asked by the supervisor to go back home and change into clothing that conforms to the company's dress code. So if Margaret decides to file a discrimination claim based on national origin then Margaret's employer can defend the dress code because Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not require an employer to accommodate an employee's attire of national origin.

The correct answer is C) Margaret’s employer can defend the dress code because Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not require an employer to accommodate an employee’s attire of national origin.

What holds true if Margaret decides to file a discrimination claim based on national origin? is " Margaret’s employer can defend the dress code because Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not require an employer to accommodate an employee’s attire of national origin."

With the passing of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employer cannot discriminate against an employee in the United States on the basis of race, gender or age.

Title VII forbids the employer to discriminate based on recruitment, evaluation, hiring, compensation, promotions, retirement plans, use of the facilities, or firing.

If you decide to file a discrimination case against your company, the employer cannot retaliate against you in any form. It even protects you in the case they decide to open an investigation.
