[All PHR Questions]

Lucas has asked his manager to take time off from work because of a holiday his religion celebrates. Fran agrees but tells Lucas that he will be inspecting his project work to ensure that the work is accurate and not suffering because of the requested time off. This is an example of what?

APerpetuating past discrimination

BReligious persecution in the workforce

CQuality control

DDisparate treatment

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Fran should not inspect Lucas' work just because he has asked for time off based on a religious holiday.

Answer option A is incorrect. There's no evidence of past historical discrimination in this example.

Answer option B is incorrect. This isn't a valid answer for the question as any discrimination based on religion falls into disparate discrimination.

Answer option C is incorrect. Quality control does inspect the quality of the work, but it's equal for all project deliverables, not just the deliverables tied to Lucas and his request for time off for the religious holiday.

Hmm, this seems like a case of 'Disparate treatment' to me. Fran's request to inspect Lucas' work just because of his religious holiday is a clear example of unequal treatment.
