Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures

Good employee selection techniques were described in 1978 when the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures were published. The ‘Guidelines’ incorporate a single set of principles which are designed to assist employers, labor organizations, employment agencies, and licensing and certification boards to comply with requirements of Federal law prohibiting employment practices which discriminate on grounds of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. They were designed to provide a framework for determining the proper use of tests and other selection procedures. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the Department of Justice, and the Civil Service Commission have adopted the guidelines.
