Answer:

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification

Explanation:

A Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) in the United States, or Genuine Occupational Qualification (GOQ) in the United Kingdom and Bona Fide Occupational Requirement (BFOR) in Canada represent an attribute in employment law. This attribute or characteristic which would otherwise have been considered as a violation of employment civil right becomes considerable by an employer when make decisions on employee hire or retention based on certain considerations.

For instance it would be usually unlawful for an employer to discriminate against the age, sex, religion and nationality of persons when considering who to employee but the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification allows the consideration of such limitations if they are necessary to the normal running or operation of the business. This characteristic must however, be stated in the employment offering by the employer.
