    Family and Medical Leave Act

    • Prohibits workplace discrimination against people with disabilities

    • Bars discrimination against people over 40

    • Prohibits recruiting and hiring of aliens not eligible for U.S. employment

    • Provides opportunity for unpaid leave

    • Bars discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national origin

    Correct Answer
    A. Provides opportunity for unpaid leave
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Provides opportunity for unpaid leave." The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons, such as the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or dealing with their own serious health condition. This law ensures that employees can take time off from work without fear of losing their job or facing discrimination, providing them with the opportunity to prioritize their family and personal health needs.

    Francine took a three-week unpaid absence from her job as a dining room manager to care for her elderly mother who was severely injured in a car accident. When she came back, her supervisor told her she was being demoted to maitre’d because she obviously didn’t care enough about her job. What law was violated?

    • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act

    • Immigration and Reform and Control Act

    • Americans with Disabilities Act

    • Family and Medical Leave Act

    Correct Answer
    A. Family and Medical Leave Act
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Family and Medical Leave Act. This law provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons, including caring for a seriously injured family member. It prohibits employers from demoting or retaliating against employees for taking this leave. In this scenario, Francine took unpaid leave to care for her injured mother, and her demotion upon returning to work suggests a violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act.

    Which of the following is not a benefit of diversity?

    • Keeps and increases market share

    • Increases productivity

    • Improves quality of management

    • Lowers wages

    Correct Answer
    A. Lowers wages
    Explanation
    Diversity in the workplace brings a variety of perspectives, experiences, and skills, which can lead to increased innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. It also promotes a positive work environment, encourages collaboration, and enhances employee morale and satisfaction. However, the statement "lowers wages" does not align with the benefits of diversity. In fact, diversity can contribute to a more inclusive and fair compensation structure by reducing biases and promoting equal opportunities for all employees.

    Age Discrimination in Employment Act

    • Prohibits workplace discrimination against people with disabilities

    • Bars discrimination against people over 40

    • Prohibits recruiting and hiring of aliens not eligible for U.S. employment

    • Provides opportunity for unpaid leave

    • Bars discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national origin

    Correct Answer
    A. Bars discrimination against people over 40
    Explanation
    The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals who are 40 years of age or older. This means that employers cannot make employment decisions based solely on a person's age, and they cannot treat older workers less favorably than younger workers. The ADEA aims to protect older individuals from unfair treatment in the workplace and ensure equal opportunities for employment regardless of age.

    Immigration Reform and Control Act

    • Prohibits workplace discrimination against people with disabilities

    • Bars discrimination against people over 40

    • Prohibits recruiting and hiring of aliens not eligible for U.S. employment

    • Provides opportunity for unpaid leave

    • Bars discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national origin

    Correct Answer
    A. Prohibits recruiting and hiring of aliens not eligible for U.S. employment
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Prohibits recruiting and hiring of aliens not eligible for U.S. employment." This answer is supported by the fact that the Immigration Reform and Control Act prohibits the hiring of individuals who are not eligible to work in the United States. This legislation was enacted to ensure that employers do not hire undocumented immigrants or individuals who do not have the proper authorization to work in the country. By prohibiting the recruitment and hiring of aliens who are not eligible for U.S. employment, the act aims to protect job opportunities for U.S. citizens and legal residents.

  • 7. 

    Marlene decided not to post an ad for a steward opening in the local newspaper’s general employment section because in the past the ad resulted in a number of Hispanic people applying for the job. What act is Marlene in danger of violating?

    • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act

    • Immigration and Reform and Control Act

    • Americans with Disabilities Act

    • Family and Medical Leave Act

    Correct Answer
    A. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
    Explanation
    Marlene is in danger of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. This act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. By not posting the ad in the local newspaper's general employment section due to the past influx of Hispanic applicants, Marlene is potentially engaging in discriminatory practices based on national origin.

    Which of the following is considered an essential function of a server?

    • Ability to hear orders

    • Ability to read menus

    • Ability to carry up to five pounds

    • Ability to walk unassisted

    Correct Answer
    A. Ability to hear orders
    Explanation
    The ability to hear orders is considered an essential function of a server because it allows them to accurately receive and understand customer requests and instructions. This is crucial for providing efficient and satisfactory service. Without the ability to hear orders, a server would struggle to communicate effectively with customers and may not be able to fulfill their needs and preferences. Therefore, this skill is essential for a server to excel in their role.

    • Bars discrimination against people over 40

    • Prohibits recruiting and hiring of aliens not eligible for U.S. employment

    • Provides opportunity for unpaid leave

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Bars discrimination against people over 40

    Explanation
    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act bars discrimination against people over 40 and also bars discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national origin. This means that it is illegal for employers to discriminate against individuals based on their age or any of these protected characteristics. The Act provides protections for individuals in the workplace and ensures equal opportunities for employment, regardless of age or these protected characteristics.
