Write a 2-3 page analysis of a legal case that addresses the legalities of employment screening exams used in the selection process.

INTRODUCTION

Employers often use employment tests to screen applicants and to assist in selecting the most qualified individual for the job. They can be very effective tools. There are many different types of tests, including cognitive tests, credit checks, criminal background checks, and medical examinations. However, it is important to understand the legalities of these employment tests. Their use can violate anti-discrimination laws if an employer uses them to discriminate based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or age (40 or older). The use of these tests can also violate antidiscrimination laws if they disproportionately exclude people in a particular protected group, unless the employer can justify the test or procedure under the law. In Assessments 1 and 2, you reviewed the overall aspects of employment law and trends in the workplace. This assessment introduces you to some of the issues that relate to the selection process and to the monitoring of behavior to sustain good decisions and prevent wrongdoing—a key concept in this course on legal issues. You will begin by looking at the details of the law. You will discern which practices are effective and which only cause extra work when working within the intent of the law.

EMPLOYMENT POLICIES

Employment policies are the first topic. Many of the earliest contracts were based on a handshake and the trust between two people. However, not everyone was trustworthy. Therefore, it was natural that a system of checks and balances emerged to bolster the contractual arrangement as well as mediate conflict and punish wrongdoing. It is no different in today’s environment. Setting up appropriate criteria and using those criteria to make the best decisions is an ongoing challenge.

DIVERSITY

Diversity in the workplace refers to the variety of differences between people within an organization. Diversity encompasses many factors, including race, age, ethnicity, religion, and education. The topic of diversity has had a significant influence on policy and law creation and development, and an organization’s success today largely depends on its ability to embrace and manage diversity effectively. In this assessment, you will examine the impact diversity has had in the workplace by discussing the laws that address discrimination. You are also encouraged to consider affirmative action and Executive Order 11236 as you review this assessment’s Questions to Consider. To prepare for this assessment, use the Capella library and the Internet to research a legal case that addresses the legalities of employment screening exams used in the selection process. Then, complete a 2–3 page analysis in which you include the following:

Provide a description of the case.
Summarize the important issues in this case.
Include a detailed discussion of the outcome.
Address the evidence of discriminatory effects, and discuss the distinction the court is drawing between job-relatedness and business necessity.
Finally, offer your opinion regarding the reasons you are for or against the outcome of your case, along with your supporting rationale.

Provide an essay stating my post-graduation goals and how my goals are in line with the pursuit of employment opportunities in the hydrocarbon energy industry.

Discuss your reaction to this statement. Describe a scenario from your work with a client where this statement has proven true (no names or identifying information to maintain client confidentiality).

Read this quote by James Baldwin:

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Discuss your reaction to this statement. Describe a scenario from your work with a client where this statement has proven true (no names or identifying information to maintain client confidentiality).

If you do not work in the field yet, describe a scenario from your own experience or someone in your family where this statement has proven to be true. Remember to be respectful of others’ stories and refrain from using names or identifying information here either. (I don’t want to meet your sister and know all her business without her permission, and I’ll bet she wouldn’t want that either.)

Respond to 2 of your class colleagues posts below:

student one:

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

I like the spin of the words and their is a bit of attention drawn into seeing (facing) wrongs or bad laws, or poor human behavior. The quote reminds us that we cannot change everything, and, that there is only the possibility of changing things once they are brought into our attention.

African-Americans, not being able to vote, for example, was once ‘faced’ as an issue and because it was looked at, observed and given approval this ‘something faced’, became ‘something changed.

The example that I can relate to is smoking. In our companies treatment Phase I facility smoking was permitted outside. In my transition house the rules are that smoking is prohibited. After comparisons were made we decided that we, too, at my transition house, would allow for the staff and clients to smoke outside.

student two:

I have not began to work in the human service field dealing with a client base but I have experienced this in my daily customer service job. I recently came into a position of being in a managerial title and had a interaction with a close minded guest in my opinion at my job. There was an exchange of words to where the guest had become rude & I had to learn in that moment how to deal with challenging people in a professional way. If that man would have never gotten me into that situations I wouldn’t know how to react. It took me being faced with a difficult time being a fresh new manager I would be naive.
