2. What changes would you recommend that Wayne Paxton make? Why?
3. What related court cases are applicable to this case study and why?
Wayne Paxton owns a small trucking firm that speciaizes in local and metro-area deliver in the U.S. city.
All employment activities are handled by Wayne, who has always hired employees on the basis of three qualifications:
1. They must have a high school diploma.
2.They must pass a short paper and pencil test which is given to all applicants.
3.They must have a valid driver's license if applying for teh position of driver.
The short test was devised by Wayne from questions found on a sample Schoalrship Aptitude Tests. The test consists of 50 vocabulary and mathematical questions. Anyone scoring below 35 is automatically rejected. last month two drivers quit, so Wayne advertised in the local paper for two new drivers. Ten people applied for the opening, but Wayne rejected four applicants because they were not high school graduates. Three others were rejected because of tests scores below 35. The two white males scored highest on thetest, had high school diplomas and had valid driver's licenses. this week Wayne was notified that two EEO complaints had been filed against this firm. A female compllainant alleged that the test does not measure a person's ability to drive and is not a valid predictor of job success. The other complainant, an African american male, alleged that the high school diploma requirement is not related to ability to do the job, and unfairlyy discriminates against African Americans. Wayne is trying to decide how to respond to these compalints.
