Abstract:
This Article investigates employment discrimination problems that may emerge as employers develop and implement novel risk-oriented hiring screenings. It begins by describing the most common risk-oriented screens. It then evaluates the economic incentives that lead employers to develop these screens and factors that influence employers to deviate from pure economic behavior in their hiring decisions. The article then makes an argument for government intervention and examines current statutory remedies and the inadequacies of existing state and federal regulations.
