Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B)Three notable exceptions to discrimination as covered by Title VII are bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQs),seniority and merit systems,and testing and educational requirements.According to the act it is not an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire and employ employees on the basis of his religion,sex,or national origin in those certain instances where religion,sex,or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the particular business or enterprise.For example,religious institutions,such as churches or synagogues,may legally refuse to hire teachers whose religious conviction is different from that of the hiring institution.The second exception to discrimination under Title VII is a bona fide seniority system such as the type normally contained in a union contract.Differences in employment conditions among workers are permitted,provided that such differences are not the result of an intention to discriminate because of race,color,religion,sex,or national origin.Third,in the matter of testing and educational requirements,Title VII states that it is not "an unlawful employment practice for an employer to give,and to act upon,the results of any professionally developed ability test provided that such test,its administration,or action upon the results is not designed,intended or used to discriminate because of race,color,religion,sex,or national origin." The common element among the three exceptions is that employment-related decisions are job-based rather than on protected differences such as age.
