Course/Product Description Title: Employment Testing—How To Determine Qualifications Without Discriminating Date / Time: Recorded Format: Audio Conference Description: '''Did you know that any procedures in your company from hiring and job-qualification tests to annual reviews can be considered a type of employment testing? Most employers use all kinds of employment tests to determine who is best qualified for a job, service, or promotion. Some employers have even faced testing claims based on their interview programs. If any of the tests result in a disproportionate disadvantage to a protected subset of employees, they may be challenged as being discriminatory. Recently significant enforcement and litigation claims by the EEOC, U.S Department of Labor and private plaintiffs’ attorneys have resulted in employers paying millions of dollars and having to discontinue the use of tests. Learning Objectives In this interactive audio conference, you’ll learn how to correctly structure workplace testing to help you make a legally-sound determination of the test takers’ qualifications. Major Learning Points or Questions That Will Be Answered: What is a definition of a “test” under the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedure?
