Legal issues/diversity
Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.
![Page 2: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Legal issues and HR.
Employer can be sued for what types of labor practices?
Generate a list.
![Page 3: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why do these laws exist?
Keep in mind business lobby is commonly seen as stronger than the labor lobby.
Do these laws provide a comparative advantage or disadvantage for American businesses. Explain.
![Page 4: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
HR Departments are eventually called as critical defendant witnesses in civil and criminal suits
Be asked to explain policies and why variations in policies occurred.
![Page 5: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Need to be familiar with
Scope of employment Law (note there is another course on this subject).
with basic legal theories. with legal procedures. Effective risk management
![Page 6: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Can not discriminate in work place
Subtle discrimination as case suggests.
![Page 7: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Legal system hinges on several elements
Distributive and procedural justice Validity and Reliability.
![Page 8: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Distributive justice
Treating others similarly with rewards and discipline.
Examples
![Page 9: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Procedural justice
Is the process consistently applied to all.
![Page 10: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
If incorrect employment action
Grievance process in place. Actions could be discipline related,
harassment based, compensation, abusive supervisors, promotion.
Usually over discipline but could be positive issues.
![Page 11: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What does a grievance process look like. Policy usually in handbook. Lists what can be grieved/not grieved. Discipline is always there. Questions
about opening it to other issues such as abusive supervisors.
Define terms.
![Page 12: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Define the process
How to file a grievance. Who reviews the grievance (peers and
supervisors, standing committee or special committee).
Ability to go to arbitration or mediation. Information exchange processes Usually a final oversight by HR. Mostly to
determine if the process has been followed appropriately.
![Page 13: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Need to consider it an informal court process. Both Plaintiff (usually employee) and Defendant (usually a supervisor) must have opportunities to respond.
![Page 14: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Imagine the case with a grievance process.
What information would plaintiff defendant share?.
What questions should the committee be seeking information about to clearly understand the situation.
Why is this better than just a group of higher ups making a decision?
![Page 15: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Biased standards
Consistency in Rewards Consistency in Procedures Standards discriminate. Example: Height and being a police
officer. College degree and bank teller (not
seen as entry level management position).
![Page 16: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Good Management is good Risk Management.
![Page 17: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why do I say this.
How does good risk management used to support and develop a good workforce that promotes organizational productivity. Think about your OB course. What are some of the desired consequences of procedural, distributive justice.
![Page 18: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Steps in Good Risk management/good management
Standards for Promotion, hiring, compensation need to be valid and reliable.
![Page 19: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reliability is the easiest to understand Consistency in assessing if individuals meet
standards. Sources of inconsistency. Ratee
inconsistency. Rater inconsistency. Examples of Ratee inconsistency. Selection tools. The job interview. How many have a good and bad interviews. How many of you have used more than one
resume when looking for a job.
![Page 20: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
List goes on and on.
![Page 21: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rater inconsistency
Largely between raters. But also same rater. Again job interviews.
Thank about student evaluations. Are they consistent across students?
Compare against and standardized computational or typing test.
![Page 22: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why is consistency important.
Increases confidence in assessments. Statistical and reduction in error term.
Easier to establish Validity.
![Page 23: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Validity
Does standard use to make an HR decision actually relate to job performance.
Future job performance (selection) or current job performance (Performance appraisal).
![Page 24: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Examples:
HR director job position. Specifically, what would be used to predict future job performance. What would you use as a selection standard?
![Page 25: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Different types of validity
Content—logical Predetermined attributes based on job/organizational analysis
Criterion or predictive—statistical demonstration. Anything that statistically predicts performance. Performance and criterion both measured reliably. Then correlate.
Are the two bestConstruct validity, but less useful.
![Page 26: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Again good management is good risk management
![Page 27: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HR job is to ensure that
Appropriate standards with valid and reliable measurements are used rather than first or general impressions.
That standards are not inherently biased against protected groups.
![Page 28: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We will be focusing on validity and reliability when come to HR tools.
![Page 29: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Legal Theory
Two approaches to discrimination
![Page 30: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Disparate treatment
Treated differently than others with similar qualifications.
Examples: Not hire someone because the are pregnant.
Not hiring an Hispanic in Iowa because they would not stay in area without other Hispanics.
![Page 31: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Not hiring a Moslem due to dress. Not promoting a woman because the all
male subordinates would not accept her. Asking only women in an interview if she
has children Ignoring test score results to select a
minority who is qualified in other ways.
![Page 32: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Two employees caught stealing. Fired the white employee but not the minority employee. Same act.
Intangible--glass ceiling--sports talk.
![Page 33: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Proof
Plaintiff must be a minority applied for and was qualified for the job
based on company standards. Rejected Job remained open
![Page 34: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Defendant then Show reasons for actions taken. What are policies, were the policies
followed, was there reasonable judgement--ie is this a common way decisions get made.
![Page 35: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Plaintiff must show reasons are pretense and really governed by bias.
![Page 36: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What really happens?
Nothing consistently done the same all the time. Exceptions are done. Plaintiff capitalizes on this. Then takes any context statements as motivations for bias. Easiest with internal hires to demonstrate this. Class action cases.
![Page 37: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Defendant attacks the credibility of the plaintiff. Character assassination.
Whoever comes out least scarred wins. Adversarial approach
![Page 38: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Adverse impact
Policies or procedures provide defacto discrimination.
HOOTERS Table attendants. What do you think?
![Page 39: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Process
Statistically demonstrate discrimination by 80% rule (see the book).
Defendant says process is valid (Bona fide Occupational Qualification)
Plaintiff must show alternative process is better.
![Page 40: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Hooters
Male applicants and female applicants. Make it up.
Hooters-valid. Its in the business of catering to a traditional male audience.
Customer preferences are hard to discern and thus discriminatory (actual past case history in airlines).
![Page 41: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Risk Management
Work with line decision makers. Training Selection Performance appraisal Rewards
![Page 42: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Risk Management is Cost and benefit. Think about direct and opportunity costs.
![Page 43: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Wrap up
Not much time and a lot to cover. Need to be sensitive to policies, their
enforcement, and validity. Choices. Each employer is different. OK to discriminate at HOOTERs by sex.
![Page 44: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Affirmative action and its cousin Diversity
![Page 45: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Everyone to write down a definition of Affirmative action. Diversity.
![Page 46: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What is the controversy?
![Page 47: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Case discussion
In teams, case. You are the grievance committee. Outsiders so easier. Do not know people.
What is the problem and what should be done about the problem? What programs?
Report Back.
![Page 48: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Affirmative action
Designed to proactively prevent discrimination.
Was there discrimination How many of you felt something needed
to be done to prevent this? How many of you would see this as
affirmative action?
![Page 49: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Differences between
Voluntary Court ordered Affirmative action. Problems--no have women as middle
managers. So what do you do? See p. 195
![Page 50: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Affirmative action
Now more focused on diversity. Video on Dayton Hudson. Celebrate differences we all have and
share. Avoid negative stereotypes. Offensive jokes. Open acceptance of all. Tolerance for diverse ways to approach the work environment.
![Page 51: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
What is the pay back for diversity programs. You generate them?
![Page 52: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Summary
EEO and affirmative action have major impact on all HR activities.
Difficult due to line-staff problems. How to avoid.
Command and control vs Incentives and positive culture.
We will revisit these issues throughout the course.
![Page 53: Legal issues/diversity n Difficult class. Perhaps one of the most challenging. Get into statistics.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd16af/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Bring a job description next class
Read Quantum and Miller cases. Consider, the type of fit that is important in that organization. What does HR do to accentuate that type of fit. Would you recommend other actions?
Need to read Werbel and Johnson. Three types of fit, PG PO and PJ fit.
Strategic HR. Read Werbel and Johnson. Be prepared to
do person-group fit.
