Actual exam question for HRCI's PHR exam
Question #: 97
Topic #: 7
[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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

Quality control? More like quality time off, am I right? Lucas better bring back some tasty holiday treats for the rest of us!

I'm going with option D. Fran is treating Lucas differently because of his religious beliefs, and that's not cool.

But isn't it unfair to single out Lucas for inspection?

Haha, religious persecution in the workforce? What is this, the Middle Ages? Fran is just doing his job, people need to relax.

I'm not so sure. This seems like a case of disparate treatment to me. Fran is singling out Lucas for extra scrutiny just because of his religious holiday.
