Adverse impact
aka “80%” or “4/5th” rule

40 females.
 They hire 30 males and 10 females.
 What is the selection rate of females?
 Does adverse impact exist?

Answer:
Yes.
Calculation:
50% of the males (high group) were hired. To determine
adverse impact, multiply 4/5 or 80% of 50% = 40%.
Adverse impact occurred because 25% of the females
(low group) were hired, not the required threshold of 40%.
If adverse impact exists….

A “Job” is a collection of activities (tasks)
and responsibilities that an employee is
responsible to conduct.
Job analysis is the systematic study of jobs
to determine what activities (tasks) and
responsibilities they include, their relative
importance and relationship with other
jobs, the personal qualifications necessary
for performance of their jobs, and the
conditions under which the work is
performed.
