Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to 1. employers with fifteen or more employees, 2. all employment agencies, 3 . labor unions with fifteen or more members, 4. state and local governments and their agencies, and 5. most federal government employment. Native American tribes and tax-exempt private clubs are expressly excluded from coverage.

Title VII prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, or religion, whether in hiring, decisions regarding promotion or demotion, payment of compensation and fringe benefits, availability of job training and apprenticeship opportunities, referral systems for employment, decisions regarding dismissal, work rules, and any other "term, condition, or privilege" of employment. Any employee of a covered employer, including undocumented aliens, may bring actions for employment discrimination under Title VII. U.S. citizens employed by U.S.-controlled companies in foreign countries are covered by Title VII. Foreign nationals employed in foreign countries by U.S. controlled companies are not covered by Title VII.
