Overview
What are the legal implications of tests used by employers to
make employment decisions such as hiring and promoting their
employees? These tests include, but are not limited to, drug
tests, medical examinations, genetic tests, polygraphs, skills,
and physical fitness tests. They all raise the potential of
discrimination and invasion of privacy issues. The first half of
this module will cover relevant laws and HR practices that will
minimize the potential for claims. We will also explore
possible defences against a claim related to employment
testing. The second half of this module will explore legal
issues relating to selecting employees for hire and promotion.
Topics to be covered include how employers can ensure that
recruitment, selection, training, development, and other human
resource practices do not reinforce or perpetuate systematic
discrimination. We will also examine the pitfalls of
discrimination, defences to discrimination claims, EEO issues,
and best practices for hiring and promoting employees.
