  1. Chapter 4: Employee Relations and Equal Employment Opportunity Creating Effective Organizations

  2. Information that Generally Should Not Be Used in Employment Decisions • Height and weight • Marital Status/Number of Children/Child care • Educational level • English language skill • Names of friends or relatives working for the employer • Arrest records • Conviction records • Discharge from military service • Citizenship • Economic Status • Availability to work weekends/holidays Employers must show that there is a “business necessity” to use these criteria. For example, an employer would probably be able to discriminate in hiring a teller who had been convicted of embezzling.

  3. Sexual Harrassment • Quid pro quo—Sexual favors granted for a job benefit • Hostile Work Environment—Sexually oriented activities create an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment (e.g. offensive jokes, pornography, posters, nicknames, etc.)

  4. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) • Responsible for investigating complaints and enforcing EEO laws • www.eeoc.gov
