Answer to Question 1
In order for an employee to make a claim of disparate treatment, he or she must know the law and be able to show that it occurred.
Disparate treatment is also known as illegal discrimination and occurs when an employee is intentionally treated differently because of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability status, or other status protected under the law.
An employee must show that:
- He/she is a member of a protected class.
- He/she suffered an adverse employment decision as a result of a performance evaluation.
- He/she should not have suffered the adverse employment decision because his/her performance warranted a positive decision.
- The employment benefit (promotion, reward, etc.) was either not given to anyone, or was given to someone who is not a member of the same protected class as the employee making the complaint.
