Frequently asked questions
What is disparate treatment?
Disparate treatment is different treatment of an applicant or employee because of a protected characteristic under the applicable discrimination framework. A sound analysis still requires the specific decision, comparison, evidence, and current legal authority.
What is the difference between disparate treatment and disparate impact?
Disparate treatment focuses on different treatment because of a protected characteristic. Disparate impact generally examines whether a facially neutral practice disproportionately affects a protected group under the applicable legal framework. The evidence needed for the two questions is different.
What is a comparator in a disparate-treatment analysis?
A comparator is another applicant or employee whose situation is meaningfully similar on the factors relevant to the decision. The comparison should be tied to qualifications, conduct, performance, timing, decision-maker, or another criterion that actually mattered.
What evidence matters in a disparate-treatment analysis?
Useful evidence can include the decision rule, treatment of comparable people, timing, documents, statements, qualifications, the employer's stated reason, and facts that support or weaken that explanation. The conclusion should not go beyond the available record.
