For HRM purposes, there are four tests to help HRM identify if discrimination might be present in the workplace:

(1)   McDonnell-Douglas Test

(2)   Restricted Policy

(3)   Geographic Comparison

(4)   Four-Fifth’s Rule

For example, the 4/5ths rule test only indicates that discrimination might be present.  The employer would need to prove in a court of law that workplace practices are in compliance with EEO laws, should a litigation suit be brought against them.
