MGT 420 Study Guide - Final Guide: John Millikin, Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Protected Group
Document Summary
Mgt 420 exam 1 (chapters 1,2,3,4,5,7, & 11) Illegal discrimination results from behaviors or actions by an organization or managers within an organization that cause members of a protected class to be unfairly differentiated from others. Disparate treatment discrimination exists when individuals in similar situations are treated differently and when the differential treatment is based on the individual"s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability status. A bona fide occupational qualification (bfoq) states that a condition like race, sex, or other personal characteristic legitimately affects a person"s ability to perform the job, and therefore can be sued as a legal requirement for selection. Business necessity is a practice that is important for the safe and efficient operation of the business. Disparate impact discrimination occurs when an apparently neutral employment practice disproportionately excludes a protected group from employment opportunities.
