Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adverse impact refers to the negative effects of an employment practice or policy that disproportionately affects a protected group. This can include practices such as hiring, promotion, or disciplinary policies. Firing an employee without cause or forcing workers to work with chemical abusers may have other implications, but they are not necessarily related to adverse impact on a protected group. Being forced to hire based on quotas may also have adverse impact implications, but it is not a complete or accurate definition of adverse impact.
