Answer 1

A) employer’s policy is presumptively discriminatory according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency that was established by US Congress on the 2nd of July, 1965 based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so as to uphold and enforce all civil rights law against workplace discrimination by the employers or employees in the United States of America.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines asserts that employers of labor wouldn't be held liable for national origin discrimination after implementing an "English-only" rule, if the employer can show that it is necessary for the following;

I. To communicate with customers who can speak English only.

II. To efficiently promote cooperative work assignments among teams (employees).

III. To enhance or facilitate safety during an emergency.

Hence, if an employer enforces an English-only policy in all areas of the workplace and at all times, including break times and other free time, the employer’s policy is presumptively discriminatory according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
