What is the EEOC guideline on English-only workplace rules? What are two reasons given for the rules?
An English-only rule that applies all the time is considered "a burdensome term and condition of employment" in violation of Title VII. An English-only rule that applies only at certain times does not violate Title VII if there is a justifiable business necessity for the rule.
Rationale for the rule: English-only rules: (1) may result in a "discriminatory working environment"; (2) adversely impact those with little or no English skills and take away their ability to speak at work; (3) create barriers to employment for those with limited or no English skills; (4) prevent bilingual employees whose first language is not English from speaking in their most effective language.
