Labor Law

Paper Summary:

This paper explores labor law. The paper presents two cases illustrating disparate treatment and disparate impact and includes a brief description of the relevant facts, the ruling and reasoning of the court and finally the specific implications of the ruling for an employment environment. The paper answers these questions: What are some measures a company can take to reasonably accommodate people with disabilities, or those with a known drug abuse problem? Should factors like personality, attitude toward work and future upward mobility be considered when hiring?

From the Paper:

"Discrimination can be the result of both intentional and unintentional motives. The willful intention to discriminate against an individual or group based on their race, gender, religion, national origin or disability is called disparate treatment. Disparate impact refers to a practice or policy that appears to be neutral on its face but negatively impacts a particular group, such as women or older workers. Disparate impact uses a circumstantial method to prove discrimination."
