Practice question
A company argues that equality of employment opportunities prevents it from requiring any job-related skills. It therefore selects solely by birth year, admitting that the age rule is arbitrary and fits no statutory exception. Which correction is best?
- Equal opportunity requires removing all relevant qualifications.
- Equality permits qualification-based evaluation and does not validate arbitrary age discrimination.
- Birth year must always control selection.
- Applicants have a constitutional entitlement to every available job.
- An employer may avoid the Act by calling its cap a skills test.
