Ch 13: Case Study-Sex Discrimination
Mary Claire Dale
1.
Which of these three problems should Randy focus on first?
The first problem Randy should work on first are the complaints about unfair pay.
In the study it says that Randy found that most men are paid more than women because of job demand differences, difference in duties, and some of the men have worked there longer than some of the women. However, this is clear evidence that there has been a difference in treatment in regards to the male and female employees. Furthermore, the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Title Seven, prohibits the discrimination of sex, but discrimination is allowed if certain skills needed apply to a specific position meaning if certain types of people must work certain jobs, then it is acceptable. Randy must decide if the differences that he found are covered under the Civil Rights Act. 2.
Which one is the greatest legal risk?
The payment accusation against male employees from the female employees is a great legal risk, however the women that have reported the unfair treatment while pregnant is the greatest legal risk. Pregnancy discrimination is covered under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and it states that, “ it is illegal for an employer to dictate a specific timeframe for women who take maternity leave.” So, if any of those employees were treated in such a manner they have the right to file a complaint with HR against the hotel.
The Act also states that it is illegal not to hire someone just because they are pregnant. As long as they can complete the tasks covered in the job description, they have
a right to be hired. Randy discovered that the company policy over the housekeepers and
2
servers allows them to be temporarily transferred to less physically demanding jobs when
they become pregnant.
3.
What additional information will Randy need to know about each problem?
Randy must figure out if the men and women salary issue can be covered under The Civil Rights Act where it states certain people need to work certain jobs, and if those job descriptions exclude the capabilities of women then a case needs to be formed around
that detail. Next, Randy must find out if the treatment of the pregnant women was from discrimination in the hiring process, whether or not they were moved to less physically demanding jobs, or if the employer told them when they could have their maternity leave.
Also the sexual harassment complaints to HR that were formal coworker complaints must be assessed further. Sexual harassment can lead to the workers going on strike against the employer via the National Labor Relations Act. Joining a Labor Union allows the worker to collectively bargain through their union representative. 4.
What specific recommendations can Randy make to reduce the risk of legal liability for each problem?
By presenting his recommendations at the next executive meeting, Randy has the ability to reduce the risk of legal liability. Specifically, Randy must recommend that the company offers the sympathy and understanding in order to gurantee a safe work environment that combats sexual harassment. He must also recommend that if job salaries are not equal among men and women, offering an additional training course for potential women employees that would like the challenge would be beneficial.

Is the employer liable for sexual harassment? Maybe, it depends. What does it depend on?1. A restaurant manager sees some customers harassing a server, but the server doesn't complain about it to anyone. When the customers continue harassing the server, the manager goes over to the table and tells the customers to stop it or they'll have to leave. They say they'll stop, but when she returns to the table, one of them makes another sexual comment and tries to grab her. The server immediately walks out and goes home before her shift is over. Then the manager evicts the customers from the restaurant and bans them for life. 2. The male dishwashers at a restaurant continually harass a new female employee with a lot of sexual jokes and suggestions. They also harass each other just as much, so when she reports the harassment to the manager, the manager just says, "That's the way it is in every kitchen. Plus, it's not even discrimination because it's the same for everyone." So she quits and…

SECTION B: CASE STUDY
“Gerald was a 60-year-old man working as a salesperson in a hardware store with several younger co-workers, a few of whom consistently treated him with disrespect, making nasty comments about his being old, slow and "computer illiterate" because he was not very good with the online inventory system. At first, Gerald ignored the comments, but he rapidly grew tired of them. He politely, and privately, spoke to the most vocal of the younger employees, asking him to stop the needling, but the younger man told Gerald that he was being too sensitive and the bullying grew worse.
Gerald eventually approached the store owner about the situation. The owner likes Gerald, but was unwilling to get involved with what he called "employee issues." Gerald noted that since many of the insults reference Gerald's age, they could constitute illegal workplace harassment. The store owner became defensive and continued to do nothing about…

CASE: HERE WE GO AGAIN The position of business office manager at Memorial Hospital has been a “hot seat,” changing incumbents frequently. When the position was vacated last May the four senior employees in the department were interviewed. All were told that because they were at the top of grade and the compensation structure for new supervisors had “not yet caught up with that of other jobs,” the position would not involve an increase in pay. All four declined to pursue the position, and all were given the impression that they were not considered fully qualified anyway, but that they might be considered for supervision again at a later date. That same month a new business office manager was hired from the outside, and the four senior employees were instructed to “show the new boss all you know.” Over the following several months the finance director told all four employees that they had “come along very well” and would be considered for the manager’s position should it come open…
