Determining Adverse Impact

Discuss 1.1: Determining Adverse Impact 2 2 unread replies. 2 2 replies. Prompt For several years, Tubalard Bakery has required that all employees hired for cashier positions in its retail bakery store have at least two years of college. The company’s justification for this requirement is that, because their cashiers must do math in their head, they must be educated. Even though they are the only food store with this requirement, they are able to attract many applicants because they pay $3.00/hour more than any other store. In May of 2008, Sarah Lee applied for a job with Tubalard and was not hired because she never attended college. Ms. Lee, an African American woman, filed charges with the EEOC. The chart below represents all the applicants that applied for a cashier position at Tubalard. Using the data and assuming that Tubalard hired all applicants with two years or more of college, do you believe the EEOC investigation will reveal any adverse impact?
