HRCI Exam SPHR Topic 5 Question 96 Discussion

Actual exam question for HRCI's SPHR exam
Question #: 96
Topic #: 5
[All SPHR Questions]

As an HR Professional, you must sometimes terminate employees from your organization. When an employee is terminated, there must be a just cause or a good cause for the termination. Which one of the following is not a valid just cause for the employee's termination?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Answer option C is correct.

A Notice of Contest must be filed within 15 days of the citation. The OSH Act requires employers to allow the CSHO to inspect the workplace (D). Employers may request variances until repairs are made (A) or for processes that provide equal or greater safety for workers. Employers may consult with OSHA to identify possible hazards without fear of a citation or penalty (B); but once a consultant becomes involved, the employer must abate any violations, or the consultant will refer the violation to an OSHA inspector.

Wait, so I can't fire someone just because they're part of the 'Wearing Mismatched Socks' protected class? Dang, there goes my whole termination strategy!

This is a textbook HR question. The correct answer has to be D - terminating someone for being in a protected class is a big no-no. Didn't they teach us that in HR 101?

Hah, the 'employee is a member of a protected class' one got me chuckling. Nice try, HR exam writers, but I ain't falling for that one! Gotta go with D on this.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards B as the not-valid just cause, since employers should always provide clear warnings before termination. But I could see the argument for D as well. Gotta be careful with those protected classes!

Option D really stands out as the odd one out here. Terminating an employee based on their protected class status is clearly not a valid just cause. This seems like a straightforward question.

I believe A) Whether reasonable 'proof' of the violation existed, or was obtained through investigation is also important to consider in termination decisions.

I agree with Shawna. It's important to treat all employees fairly regardless of their protected class status.

I think D) Whether the employee is a member of a protected class is not a valid just cause for termination.
