Discrimination underlined in red

Ability to perform the essential job functions

When it comes to business decisions, it is of the utmost importance that employers take into consideration only the employee’s or applicant’s qualifications and ability to perform the essential job functions of the occupation for which they either do or are applying. Unfortunately, some employers wish to look beyond the objectivity of an employee’s abilities and look at the employee through the lenses of prejudice. They base their employee’s ability on things like race, sex, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, and even disabilities. Whether these prejudices are malicious or not, intentional or not, it still leaves the employee on the wrong side of the employment pool because of the negative effect that discrimination has on one’s life.
