Explanation / Answer
1. The exclusive remedy for the employee is the workers' compensation coverage, that is available to an injured employee. It includes benefits for lost wages, medical care and rehabilitation. This will be the case even if the injury was caused due to the mistake of the employee.
2. The answer is "age". Title VII includes the following four protected categories - race/color, national origin, religion and sex (including pregnancy).
(Mormon is a religion and is a branch of Christanity).
3. No, a person is not required to be born in another country. The person can trace his or her origin to another country as well. Thus, things like ancestry, culture, linguistic characteristics etc, are also considered to be protected from discrimination based on national origin.
