Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The four-fifths rule, also known as the 80% rule or the disparate impact rule, is a legal principle used in employment discrimination cases to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in hiring, promotion, or other employment outcomes between different groups. It applies specifically to selection processes, such as hiring or promotion, and requires that the selection rate for a protected group (e.g. women, minorities) be at least 80% of the selection rate for the group with the highest selection rate. The rule does not apply to compensation or recruiting.
