| Legal
Consideration |
Is it addressed
in the Recommended Solution? |
| Title VII
prohibits employers from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race,
color, religion, sex and national origin. |
The applicant will
be completing a test at a terminal. There will be no information solicited during that
test that pertains to race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Therefore, when the
computer assesses the score it will not have the information that Title VII prohibits
using for making decisions. |
| The test will face
questions regarding "Content Validity" by EOC Guidelines. |
The test will
accomplish these items to validate the content:
- It will measure the skills it is evaluating
- Score levels will be assessed at a reasonable
and consistent rate with the expectations.
- The skills tested will be determined after
doing a thorough job analysis and identifying the essential job skills and their
importance.
|
| The testing system
must be measured for any "adverse impact" by using the 4/5 Rule. |
- The "bottom line" selection rates
using the recommended solution will be evaluated to determine if there is an adverse
impact.
- To circumvent any possible doubts about the
test, the test will be "validated" according to EEOC Guidelines as explained in
#2 regarding "Content Validity."
