1. Assignment 3: The Value of Fair Treatment in the
Workplace
Due Week 10 and worth 280 points
The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has
declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the
workplace to be unconstitutional. In its opinion,
however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers
could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures
prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the
workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that
employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to
diversify their workforces provided such practices did not
include express preferences based upon immutable
characteristics.
You have been hired as a consultant by a large,
nationwide retailer to examine the business case for
ensuring that all of the employee protections are found
within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the
business case for prohibiting any other forms of
discrimination in the workplace.
Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you:
1. Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting
three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination
prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.
2. Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a
form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal
anti-discrimination laws.
3. State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring
and promotion practices designed to diversify the
workforce.
4. Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily
prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in
the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical
considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and
promotion practices to diversify the workforce.
5. Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on
whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the
employee protections examined in the first part of your
report. Your recommendation should also include
whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and
promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace.
Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation
along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary
positions or other pertinent considerations.
6. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this
assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not
quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting
requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font
(size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations
and references must follow APA or school-specific
format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the
assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the
course title, and the date. The cover page and the
reference page are not included in the required
assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with
this assignment are:
• Analyze and apply the concepts of ethical decision
making, corporate governance and corporate social
responsibility.
• Analyze and evaluate the employment-at-will doctrine
and the statutory protections afforded employees.
• Analyze and evaluate issues in modern contract law.
• Use technology and information resources to research
issues in law, ethics, and corporate governance.
• Write clearly and concisely about law, ethics, and
corporate governance using proper writing mechanics.
