Cases of alleged discrimination in violation of
federal or state statutes can be made under one
of two theories:
Proving 1. Disparate Treatment
Employment When an employer treats an employee of a
protected class differently from a nonprotected
class employee in a similar situation
Discrimination 2. Disparate Impact
When an employer’s policy or practice, neutral
on its face and in its application, has a negative
effect on the employment opportunities of
protected-class individuals.
