Adv Farm Employment Law Lesson 5: NonDiscrimination
( September, 2022 )
Summary
Generally, setting forth clear expectations for a job are crucial to attracting qualified applicants, but have you ever wondered about how your hiring process fits into the law? The surprising thing to most farmers and ranchers is that discrimination can sneak in and rear its ugly head on even the most well-intentioned farms; this is especially the case in the hiring process where job descriptions, interview questions, and screening criteria are used to filter people out. In this lesson, you will learn about the classes of personal characteristics protected by law that cannot be used to make employment decisions. We share how to set up fair and equitable hiring systems on your farm or ranch, as well as explain the utility of employee handbooks for implementing equitable management systems.
