HealthSmart will be liable for national origin discrimination because it illegally segregated the employees based on their national origin, resulting in disparate treatment. An element of the prima facie case for national origin discrimination is that an employee has suffered an adverse employment action by his or her employer's employment decision. This may include a demotion, termination, or removal of privileges afforded to other employees. The adverse effect may arise because employees of different national origin are treated differently (disparate treatment).
