Adverse impact, also known as disparate impact, is a term used in employment discrimination to describe situations where an employment decision, such as hiring, promotion or termination, disproportionately affects one group of people more than another, even though the decision was made without any intent to discriminate. This can occur when a particular requirement of the job, such as a minimum height or educational qualification, disproportionately excludes members of a particular group, even if the requirement is not directly related to job performance. Adverse impact can be used to demonstrate discrimination in cases where there is no evidence of intentional discrimination, but the effect of the employment decision is discriminatory nonetheless.
