Question 4

What is the primary purpose of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP)?

Accepted Answer

To provide a framework for validating selection procedures to avoid adverse impact

Answer

UGESP provides guidance on how employers should validate selection tools to ensure they are job-related and do not unlawfully discriminate against protected groups.

Question 5

An employer's selection process results in Hispanic applicants being hired at a rate of 60% compared to white applicants. Under the 4/5ths rule, does adverse impact exist?

Yes, because 60% is below the 80% threshold

The 4/5ths (80%) rule considers adverse impact to exist when the selection rate for a protected group is less than 80% of the rate for the highest-selected group.
