Practice question
A company allows ICC/IP workers to keep their jobs but denies them an occupational benefit solely on account of their descent. It argues that Section 24 is violated only when someone is discharged. What is the better analysis?
- The statute also prohibits descent-based discrimination in employment terms and denial of protected rights or benefits
- Retention in employment defeats every IPRA claim
- Only discharge is regulated
- Benefits are categorically outside employment conditions
- The employer’s preferred interpretation replaces the statute
