  • Essays 'Disparate Impact', 1.
Extract

Disparate impact is when a an employer discriminates against a group of the same people. An employer may not discriminate against an entire group just because the group may be women or black. Disparate impact is described as discrimination and practices that are fair in form but discriminatory in operation. An example of DI may be having to take a written test, height and weight requirements, educational requirements. Disparate impact cases are very complex in nature and need a lot more evidence than disparate treatment.
