Write a short note on discriminatory practices.

 

To   discriminate   means   to   distinguish   one   object   from   another.   Employment discrimination is treating one person better than another because of their age, gender, race, religion or other protected class status.

 

KEY: Ram Se Pehle Dashrath Crowned

 

a)   Recruitment Practices: Firms that rely solely on the word-of-mouth referrals of present employees to recruit new workers only from those racial and sexual groups that are already  represented in their labour force. When desirable job positions are advertised only in media that are not used by minorities or women or are classified as for men only, recruitment would also tend to be discriminatory.

b)   Screening Practices: Screening is said to be discriminatory when the parameters required are such as which are not relevant to the job to be performed. Interviews for the jobs are

said to be discriminatory if the interviewer disqualifies certain class of people for reason

not related to work. E.g. the occupation is not suitable for women, etc.

c)   Promotion Practices: Promotion, job progression & transfer practices are discriminatory when  employer  place  males  on  job  tracks  separate  from  those  open  to  women  &

minorities.

d)   Dismissal: Firing on employee on the basis of her/his race or sex is a clear form of discrimination;  though  not  as  serious  as  an  offence  but  the  same  is  considered  as discriminative.

e)   Condition  of  Employment:  Many  times  equal  wages  &  salaries  are  not  given  to employees performing essentially similar tasks. Another issue is related to fair wages and treatment to workers.
