Assignment:
Although Ann and Ryan have always known that it is important to comply with equal employment opportunity legislation and other relevant employment laws, it has been eight years since they conducted any sort of discrimination analyses at their company. They ask you to evaluate the sales- associate position for any evidence of discrimination based on gender or ethnicity. The first level of disparate impact analyses are typically done at the establishment level, which for Chern's is a single store. Chern's asks you to focus on its flagship store- it's largest-which has 140 full-time and 50 part-time sales associates. Chern's gives all department and store managers bias and diversity training, and has never been sued for disparate treatment. Because it knows that adverse impact is still a risk, the company asks you to analyze its full-time sales associate hiring data for evidence of adverse impact.
Tables A-2, A-3, and A-4 (located in the Additional Resources) summarize the data you will need to use in your analyses. The data for the sales associate flow statistics are based on the previous five years of staffing at Chern's flagship store.

• Provide a disparate impact analysis. To do this, provide a table with calculations followed be and analysis.
