Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures
The following 'Guidelines' were established in 1978
(and periodically amended) to assure fair and equal hiring and promotion
practices. Many HR departments do know know they exist. In a rare twist of
government bureaucracy, the 'Guidelines' also represent best practices.
They are usually the foundation for EEOC challenges.
