Disciplining Employees Who Violate Discrimination Laws


As the HR Director, you recently learned of Ms. Ramirez’s behaviors and will write a 2- to 3-page memo to the CEO that will recommend either terminating or disciplining Rachella Ramirez, the Marketing VP, in this week’s Discussion. 

To complete this Assignment, your memo should include the following:

  1. An introduction which briefly explains the situation and addresses the difference(s) between potential disparate impact and disparate treatment. 
  2. A review of the laws involved in the situation, i.e., age discrimination laws relevant to termination in the workplace and how they were violated by Rachella’s behaviors. 
  3. A recommendation of whether Rachella should be terminated or disciplined, and why. 
  4. A draft of the written memo you would recommend be given to Rachella to support your decision to either discipline or terminate her.
