At long last there is a new trend in employer discrimination and we at Ryan Staffing have nothing to worry about. Did you know that the EEOC recently held a hearing to discuss potential discrimination facing unemployed job seekers?
Although the unemployed are not a protected group, hiring practices that exclude the unemployed from consideration could have a disparate impact on protected groups...Hispanics or African-Americans who have higher unemployment rates as an example.
In the temp business, nearly everyone we hire is unemployed because very few people quit full time employment for a temp job. Further, to keep payroll tax costs down we try hard to first place those that are actively collecting unemployment benefits.
