Disparate treatment refers to treating an individual differently based on their protected class characteristic, such as race, gender, age, etc. Discriminatory intent means that the decision-maker knowingly or intentionally made a decision based on the protected class characteristic of the employee. The intent to harm or break the law is not necessarily a requirement for proving disparate treatment.
