What else can I help you with?
Is it legal for an employer to require a specific gender for a job position if sex has been determined as a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ)?
Yes, it is legal for an employer to require a specific gender for a job position if sex has been determined as a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ).
What are some examples of BFOQ?
Since people have a right to privacy, an attendant in a restroom can be required to be of the same sex. Models for a line of dresses can be exclusively young, slim females, and casting for a movie or play may discriminate on any basis.
What defense requires showing that there is an overriding company related purpose for a discriminatory practice and that the practice is therefore acceptable?
The defense of bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) requires showing that a discriminatory practice is necessary for the job's performance. This defense allows employers to make employment decisions based on protected characteristics if they can prove that it is essential for the role.
Word ending with Q?
Some words and abbreviations I know of: 10q, luq, dq, tq, rpq, iraq, freq, irq, ruq, marq, oq, hq, rtfaq, inupiaq, compaq, deq, mikmaq, ahrq, pdq, gq, req, mcq, coq, mq, nvq, nasdaq, rfq, bq, 2b1q, cq, liq, q, iaq, bbq, unq, rq, eq, i.q, rlq, ghq, suq, boq, bfoq, colloq, wq, saq, jq, qepiq, mi'kmaq, esq, seq, posslq, lq, iq, uq, loq, qqq, obliq, gnvq, fq, sqq, uuq, nlq, aq, mashriq, cinq, sq, qq, enq, arq, icq, eoq, pq, llq, jasdaq, vq, nq, inq, faq, meq, mrq, seaq
Title VII who is covered and who is not?
Hypothetical situation: Phillips Inc. is a consulting company and has ten employees. These employees travel on consulting jobs in seven states. Phillips has an employment record of hiring only white males. QUESTION; is this a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended? Any input will be appreciated. Because of the small workforce of Phillips Inc. it will be hard to prove violation of title VII. Federal Law stats an employer is "a person engaged in an industry affecting commerce who has fifteen or more employees for each working day in each of twenty or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year, and any agent of such a person."States involved in the FEHA have more stringent regulations for what an employer/employee is but that is a general idea. One thing to also look into is Bona Fide Occupational Qualification, or BFOQ. This is an exception to Title VII that if "A certain religion, sex, or national origin is reasonably necessary to the normal operations of the business enterprise." Hope this helps!
Can an employer ask how you would get to your job?
Yes, because your job may require you to have a car for one reason or another. If you are a woman, some companies are very safety conscious and their place of business may require you to go through a rough part of town. This question in an interview is not meant to be personal and there is no reason you can't answer. Marcy I would say that the employer can not ask "how would you get to work" but can ask- "would you be able to be reliable and dependable and be here when scheduled?" Should be worded that way rather than how will you get here This has actually been addressed in many lawsuits, because car ownership is less common among some minorities. In general, an employer can ask IF you have reliable transportation to work. They CANNOT ask if you have a car, or how you plan to get to work. == == This is a valid question as some jobs require certain parking or passes for employees. If your work as designated car parking slots that requires passes they may ask you if you will be driving a car to work. Also, if you are applying to be a pizza delivery driver and you walk to work, you won't be hired. Most pizza joints require cars for employment as a driver. Walking just doesn't cut it anymore, something about cold pizza and complaints of late pizza. So yes your employer can ask your method of getting to work and they can also ask if you own a car. == == If this a strict condition of employment that you are required to own a mode of transportation (as mentioned by a prior author, being a pizza delivery person or the like), then yes it would be characterized as a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ). Otherwise, the most the employer may ask is if you have a problem arriving at work on time when called upon to perform your duties.
