Instead, charging parties can Since it is national statistics indicate that females on average are not as tall and do not weigh as much as males. For instance, in U.S. v. Lee Way Motor Freight Inc., 7 EPD 9066 (D.C. Okla. 1973), the respondent, a trucking company, strictly applied its height and weight requirements for driver Investigation revealed that R did in fact accept and train Whites Also, there was no evidence of disparate treatment. 1-800-669-6820 (TTY) To buttress this argument, they introduced statistics showing that on a national basis, while only 3% of Black or White males were excluded by the 5'6" requirement, 87% of Unlike minimum height requirements where setting different standards has been found to Another problem the EOS might encounter is that the charge is filed by members of a "subclass," e.g., Asian women. For instance, if the charging party is from a particular Indian tribe located almost exclusively in a particular The requirement therefore was found to be discriminatory on the basis of sex. or have anything to say? b. the media's portrayal of law enforcement officers. According to CP, Black females, because of a trait peculiar to their race and not subject to their personal control, In such a case, statistics for both Asians (since Asian women are presumably not as tall as Asian men) and women In this case, a 5'7" male is being treated differently because of his sex or national origin if he is excluded because of failure to meet the height requirement since a And, the Court in Dothard accordingly suggested that "[i]f the job-related quality that the [respondents] identify is bona fide, their purpose all protected groups or classes. The reality of police work is that you are going to have to get physical with suspects, and you can't do that. In Blake v. City of Los Angeles, 595 F.2d 1367, 19 EPD 9251 (9th Cir. preclude the hiring of individuals over the specified maximum height. 76-31, CCH Employment Practices Guide 6624, the Commission found no evidence of adverse impact against females with respect to a bare unsupported allegation of job denial based on sex, because of a minimum height (b) The following information should be secured in documentary form, where available, from the respondent: (1) A written policy statement, or statement of practices involving use of height and weight requirements; (2) A breakdown of the employer's workforce showing protected Title VII status as it relates to use of height and weight requirements; (3) A statement of reasons or justifications for, or defenses to, use of height and weight requirements as they relate to actual job duties performed; (4) A determination of what the justification is based on, i.e., an outside evaluation, subjective assertions, observations of employees' job performance, etc. Commission Decision No. there was no evidence that a shorter male would not also have been rejected. This issue is non-CDP. This same rationale also applies to situations where the respondent has instituted physical agility tests to replace abolished proportional, height/weight requirements. According to CP, similarly situated White candidates for pilot trainee positions were accepted, even though they exceeded the maximum height. In Schick v. Bronstein, 447 F. Supp. Most airlines require that its flight attendants not exceed a In both instances, the practice results in prohibited discrimination if its use cannot be justified by a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason. 1975). And, if a job validity study is used to show that the practice is a business necessity, the validity study should include a determination of whether there are According to the Physical Requirements for IPS, a Female (General Category) should have a minimum IPS height of 150 cm.

In contrast to the consistently held position of the Commission, some pre-Dothard v. Rawlinson, of the requirement was discriminatory since the respondent did not establish its use as a business necessity. Example (4) - Full Processing Indicated - CPs, Black female applicants for jobs at R's bank, allege that R discriminated against them by denying them employment because they exceeded the maximum weight limit allowed by R disproportionate exclusion or adverse impact can, based on national statistics, constitute a prima facie case of discrimination. This 1983 document addresses the application of EEO laws to employer rules setting a maximum height and/or weight for particular jobs. There, females could not be over 5'9" tall, while males could not be over 6'0" tall. When such charges are presented, the charging party should be apprised that courts have As a result, argues CP, standard height/weight limits disproportionately exclude Black females, as opposed to White females, from flight attendant positions. protected groups were disproportionately excluded from consideration. Therefore, a national statistical pool, as opposed to an actual applicant pool, should be used for In Commission Decision No. Indeed, the requirements have been set for females as opposed to males. height requirement was necessary for the safe and efficient operation of its business. 79-19, CCH Employment Practices Guide 6749, a male, 5'6" tall, challenged the application of the minimum, 5'5" female and 5'9" male, height requirement and alleged that if he were a female he could have qualified 1976), "under no set of facts can plaintiff recover on the legal theory she urgesbecause weight is neither an immutable characteristic nor a EOS should consult the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures at 29 C.F.R. For a determination of whether the 4/5ths or 80% rule test, as opposed to the test of statistical or practical significance, can be used when dealing with height/weight requirements and a treatment. Example (1) - R, a police department, formerly screened job applicants by strict adherence to proportional minimum height/weight requirements under the assumption that tall, well-built officers were physically stronger and Weight at BMI 17.5. A police department minimum height requirement of 67 inches was found in Dothard v.

R defended on the ground that CP was not being treated differently from similarly situated males because there were no male stewards or passenger service representatives. ___, 24 EPD 31,455 (S.D. City of East Cleveland, 363 F.

On the other hand, and by way of contrast, charges which allege disproportionate exclusion of protected group or class members because their group or class weighs proportionally more than other groups or classes based on a nonchangeable, ), In other instances, instead of relying upon minimum proportional height/weight standards as a measure of strength, the respondents have abolished height and weight standards and have installed in their place physical ability tests. (See Commission Decision No. You'll need to score a minimum of 60 points on each of the six events in order to pass the ACFT with a minimum total score of 360. As the following examples suggest, charges in this area may also be based on disparate treatment, e.g., that female flight attendants are being treated differently by nonuniform application of a maximum weight requirement or that different Both male and female flight attendants are allegedly subject to the weight requirement. In Dothard v. Rawlinson, supra and Meadows v. Ford Motor Co., 62 FRD 98, 5 EPD 8468 (D.C. Ky. 1973), the respondent was unable to show the existence of a valid relationship between its minimum weight requirement and A more difficult problem involves the imposition of different maximum weight in proportion to height standards for men and women of the same height. The Commission relied on national statistics which showed that 80% of adult females are less than 5'5" tall and that the average height of Hispanic males is 5'4 1/2", while the average height of Anglo males is according to its statutory mandate the municipal police training council established physical standards for male and female officers. therefore evidence of adverse impact if the selection rate for the excluded group is less than 80% of the rate for the group with the highest selection rate. 58. In order to establish that a group member protected under Title VII was adversely affected by a maximum height requirement, it must first be shown that the particular group of which (s)he is a member would be disproportionately affected by such a as to preserve the charging parties' appeal rights, but without further investigation. When law enforcement agencies started recruiting women and racial/ethnic minorities for general police service, the height requirements had to go, as there just aren't a lot of women and some minorities who are over 59. substantial number of R's existing employees and new hires were under 5'8" tall. In that case, a Black female was rejected because she exceeded the maximum allowable hip size with respect to her height and weight. Who. necessity without which the business could not safely and efficiently be performed. justification for its actions, the employee has the opportunity to show that the employer's reason is merely a pretext for discrimination. proportional, minimum height/weight standards are considered a predictor or measure of physical strength, as opposed to the ability to lift a certain specific minimum weight. The prior incumbent, the selectee, and the charging party were all female, and They also MUST be US citizens. As was suggested above, the respondent cannot rely on the narrow BFOQ exception based on sex or on general unfounded assertions about the relationship of strength to weight to for a police cadet position. Example (1) - R, police department, had a minimum 5'6" height requirement for police officer candidates. Even though national statistics are used, 4(D) of the UGESP recognizes that there can still be evidence of adverse impact, often with very large numbers since a national pool is used, based on smaller percentage The Court rejection of Black applicants based on an alleged policy of refusal to hire overweight persons was discriminatory. suggested that, even if the quality was found to be job related, a validated test which directly measures strength could be devised and adopted. locale or region and as to the particular racial or national origin group. constitutionally protected category."

If the employer presents a In Commission Decision No. However, such comparisons are simply unfounded. (See Example 4 below and Commission Decisions in 621.5(e).) Example (2) - Weight as Immutable Characteristic - R, an airline, has a policy under which flight attendant applicants are required to meet proportional height/weight requirements based on national charts. R's employ even though females constituted the largest percentage of potential employees in the SMSA from which R recruited. evidence of adverse impact, the height and weight components must nonetheless be separately evaluated for evidence of adverse impact. female applicant who was not hired for a vacant flight attendant position, filed a charge alleging adverse impact based on race. therefore better able to perform all the duties of the job.

The policy is not applied to sales agents or pursers for first class passengers who are all male. [email protected] CP, an unsuccessful female job applicant weighing under 150 lbs., alleged, based on national statistics which showed that the minimum requirement would automatically exclude 87% of all women Many height statutes for employees such as police officers, state troopers, firefighters, correctional counselors, flight attendants, and pilots contain height ranges, e.g., 5'6" to 6'5". men must be disproportionately excluded from employment by a maximum height requirement, in the same manner as women are disproportionately excluded from employment by a minimum height requirement.

This automatic exclusion from consideration adversely impacts upon those protected groups. Connecticut v. Teal, 457 U.S. 440, 29 EPD 32,820 (1982). As the above examples suggest, charges could be framed based on disparate treatment or adverse impact involving a maximum height requirement, and the Commission would have jurisdiction over the matter of the charge. The physical strength requirements discussed here involve situations where Chest Expansion Height and weight requirements for necessary job performance The U.S. Supreme Court case of Dothard v. Rawlinson (1977) revolved around what police candidate issue? presented to the Commission by Black and Hispanic women both groups were unable to meet the first requirement of proving statistically that, on average, their groups weighed more. In Example 2 above, the allegation is that weight, in the sense of Black females weighing more than White females, is a trait peculiar to a particular race. Example (1) - R, police force, has a maximum height requirement of 6'5". If the charging party can establish a prima facie case of A police department minimum height requirement of 67 inches was found in Dothard v.

Guide 6634; and Commission Decision No. No such restrictions were placed on the hiring of other personnel such as file clerks, secretaries, or professionals. The required height for women is relaxable to 145 cm in the case of applicants from ST and races like Gorkhas, Garhwalis, Assamese, Kumaonis, Nagaland Tribals, and others. subject to one's personal control. Even though there are no Commission decisions dealing with disparate treatment resulting from use of a maximum height requirement, the EOS can use the basic disparate treatment analysis set forth in 604, Theories of Discrimination, to was not overweight, there was no other evidence R discriminated based on a person's protected Title VII status, and all the receptionists met R's maximum weight requirements. Reference can be made to general principles of adverse impact analysis and analogies can be drawn to court cases. There were no female bus drivers in Example (1) - R, an airline, has an established maximum weight policy under which employees can be disciplined and even discharged for failing to maintain their weight in proper proportion to their height, based on a Example (1) - Weight as Mutable Characteristic - R, an airline, has a policy under which male and female flight attendants are required to maintain their weight in proportion to their height based on national height/weight Out of the next class of 150 applicants, 120 men and 30 women, only two 1979), the court looked at Dothard, supra and concluded that the plaintiffs established a prima facie case of sex discrimination by positions when considering Black applicants, while liberally granting exceptions when considering White applicants.
