Disparate impact discrimination occurs when a seemingly neutral policy or practice disproportionately affects a protected group. In this case, the policy applies to all employees, but has an unintended negative impact on a protected group. Disparate treatment, on the other hand, involves intentional discrimination against a protected group. Disparate causality and situational discrimination are not recognized forms of discrimination.
