This question is for a business ethics course. The Answer needs to be 350 words.There are many reasons that employees might feel that they are discriminated against when applying for positions. If the employee is not offered the position, they may believe that this has to do with their status within a protected class. When candidates fall within a protected class based on race, sex, disability, age, national origin, or religion, the need for employers to understand and follow the “Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures,” a procedural document published in the Federal Register to help employers avoid discriminatory action, is high. However, even when an organization understands these guidelines, there is no guarantee that the guidelines will be operationalized within the selection process. This exercise asks that you create a checklist that operationalizes these guidelines to ensure ethical treatment.

Next, reflect upon the following: ••
