An insurance company has a reading and math test required for all potential employees. The tests have resulted in the rejection of over 8000 minority applicants in the past 6 years. What concerns should be addressed regarding the tests?

Question 2

A city has its pay structure established by classes of employees. For example, there are administrative staff and maintenance staff. The administrative staff's pay rate is higher and employees in those jobs are nearly all white male. The maintenance staff's rates are lower and the employees there are nearly all female. Several female employees have brought suit challenging the pay structure as violative of Title VII. Is there a problem?

Answer to Question 1

Disparate impact issue. See Time, September 3, 1984, p. 60. Prudential Insurance entered into a consent decree after charges on their tests.

Answer to Question 2

No, jobs may pay less but functions are less. Fact that males and females group up that way was not the intent of the statute. EEOC decision 85-8, 6/17/85.
