Human Resources 630 Recruitment and Selection -
Can someone tell me what page this information is on? The Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (1978) define adverse impact as a substantially different rate of selection in hiring, promotion, or other employment decision which works to the disadvantage of members of a race, sex, or ethnic group. A selection rate for any race, sex, or ethnic group which is less than four-fifths (4/5) (or eighty percent) of the rate for the group with the highest rate will generally be regarded by the federal enforcement agencies as evidence of adverse impact.
