From the Paper:

"Fair employment practices are those guidelines for hiring new employees and keeping current personnel that offers equal employment to the worker regardless of his or her race, ethnicity or nationality, color, religious affiliation, age, gender, marital status, criminal conviction for which a pardon has been given, handicap or sexual orientation. Fair employment practices are policed and governed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as state and local jurisdictions and legislation. KSAs (knowledge, skills, and abilities) can be tested by various means. Two of the common tests are linear assessments and performance-based testing. Linear assessments contain traditional questions and measure specific knowledge. Performance-based testing places employees in a real-life simulation and tests their abilities to perform specific work-related tasks."
