Employment discrimination | ||
Employment discrimination refers to discriminatory employment practices such as bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, and compensation, and various types of harassment. In many countries, laws prohibit employers from discriminating on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or age. There is also a growing body of law preventing or occasionally justifying employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Some jurisdictions within countries implement their own non-discrimination laws. Protected categoriesLaws can prohibit discrimination on the basis of: Race Sex Pregnancy Religion National origin Citizenship Disability (physical, mental, emotional) Age Sexual Orientation Marital status Military discharge status Anticipated military deployment Unintentional discriminationUnintentional discrimination (often termed "statistical discrimination") occurs when neutral selection practices produce a substantial disparity of outcomes between one group and another. Such practices include the use of standardized tests (which may disadvantage minority groups) or height (which may disadvantage women and some ethnic groups) in the hiring process. If the requirements are job-related and a "business necessity", the disparity is irrelevant. Some laws prohibit unintentional discrimination as well as intentional discrimination, but may have different standards for deciding what is acceptable. Substantial disparities in outcome are not necessarily illegal, if the practices that produce them are necessary. Copyright 2008 - France BtoB from Wikipédia
