HRCI Exam SPHR Topic 7 Question 50 Discussion

Actual exam question for HRCI's SPHR exam
Question #: 50
Topic #: 7
[All SPHR Questions]

A manager always requires a female member of the project team to take the meeting minutes. This is an example of what type of discrimination?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Answer option A is correct.

Harris v. Forklift Systems Inc. was referenced in the case of same-sex harassment brought to the Supreme Court in Oncale v. Sundowner (D). Oncalehelped determine that gender is of little consequence when harassment meets the statutory requirements defined in Harris. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton (B) and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth (C) were also important cases aiding in interpreting the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace.

Option B is the correct answer. Singling out a team member for a task solely because of their gender is textbook disparate treatment.

Haha, I bet the manager thinks he's being 'chivalrous' by making the woman take notes. What a dinosaur!
