The Supreme Court has ruled that the burden of justification is on employers to show that their job requirements are a "business necessity" that bears "a demonstrable relationship to successful performance." This applies to both hiring and promotion decisions, as well as training programs. The EEOC can initiate employment discrimination suits based on evidence of de jure or de facto discrimination, but this is not a requirement for them to take action.
