Question

Daisy Delish is the owner of a fine-dining restaurant. She believes that women are more trustworthy and honest than men. Therefore, her hiring policy requires that male job applicants pass an integrity test, but it does not require that female job applicants take the test. Which of the following concepts does the given scenario illustrate?
a. Disparate treatment
b. Nepotism
c. Disparate impact
d. Retaliation

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Disparate treatment.

Explanation:

Obviously Daisy, due to her false beliefs, puts at a disadvantage the aspirations of men to work in her restaurant. On the other hand, women are more likely to be hired taking into account that according to her they perform the tasks better than men.

There are generally two types of claims for employment discrimination, unequal treatment or unequal impact. In an unequal treatment, the worker seeks to demonstrate the reason for the employer's discrimination. An unequal impact claim does not require proof of intentional discrimination, but the proof that the employer uses employment practices that are apparently neutral in their treatment of different groups but in fact fall harder on a group that in another and cannot be justified as a necessity imposed by the business.
