Renee applied for a job with Prime Paves paving company. When the owner contacted her about
her application he was surprised to find out that she was female. He said that hiring a woman
would not work, as he could not afford to incur additional hotel room costspossibly as much as
$6,000, or almost 1 percent of total expenseswhen they were on the road (she would be the only
woman in a crew of four). Renee became angry and decided to file a human rights complaint,
alleging discrimination based on sex. As the owner admitted that his refusal to hire Renee was
based on her being a woman, the tribunal found that a prima facie case of discrimination was
proven. (That is, a protected characteristic [sex] was a factor in the adverse impact [not being
hired]). The burden then shifted to the respondent to prove that his refusal was based on a BFOR.
Does the employers reason for refusing to hire Renee because of her gender constitute a BFOR
defence? 1. Was it rationally connected to the job? 2. Was the standard adopted in an honest and
good faith belief it was necessary for a work-related purpose? 3. Was the standard reasonably
necessary to fulfill the legitimate work-related purpose? Would accommodating the applicant
cause the employer undue hardship?
