Women who are excluded from positions based on height and weight requirements can prove discrimination

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To prove discrimination, the exclusion based on height and weight requirements must be directly correlated to the ability to do the job. If an employer can prove that height and weight are necessary for the job, then the exclusion would not be discriminatory. Similarly, if the height and weight requirements also screen out some men, it does not necessarily mean there is no discrimination against women.
