Practice question
A logistics company rejects all applicants above forty for a desk-based dispatch job. Its records show no age-related legal requirement or demonstrated operational necessity. The manager says that calling the rule a BFOQ is enough and that older people are usually slow with computers. A qualified rejected applicant challenges the rule. Which is best?
- The BFOQ label conclusively establishes the exception
- Every desk job inherently requires workers below forty
- An unsupported stereotype does not establish a BFOQ reasonably necessary to the particular business; the company must substantiate an applicable exception
- A computer-related task is exempt from the Act
- The applicant must accept every published age ceiling
Legal references
