EEOC Compliance in Driver Hiring

EEOC enforces federal anti-discrimination laws. Driver hiring requires careful compliance to avoid claims.

Title VII protected classes

Race
Color
National origin
Religion
Sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, sexual orientation)

Other federal anti-discrimination laws

ADA — disability
ADEA — age (40+)
GINA — genetic information
Pregnancy Discrimination Act
Equal Pay Act

When EEOC applies to your hiring

Have 15+ employees (Title VII threshold)
Federal contractor (lower threshold may apply)
State law may apply at lower employee counts

What's not discriminatory

Required physical capability (lifting, sitting, vision)
Required license (CDL)
Required medical certification (federal mandate)
Job-related background check (job-related conviction)

What IS discriminatory

Excluding applicants based on protected class
Inquiring about protected class in interview
Using protected class info to make decisions
Applying different standards to similar applicants (unless job-justified)

Common driver-hiring pitfalls

"We've been told to hire only veterans" — protected class issue (veteran status is protected under specific federal law)
"We don't hire women for tanker work" — sex discrimination
"Driver looks too old to be safe" — age discrimination
"Driver has visible disability" — ADA issue if disability doesn't prevent essential job functions
"We don't hire people from [country]" — national origin discrimination

What auditors look for

Consistent application of hiring standards
Documented job-related criteria
Records of all applicants (including unsuccessful)
Decision-makers trained on EEOC compliance

Tracking

Compass HR/Hiring module:

Maintains applicant tracking system
Documents job-related criteria used
Compliance training records for hiring managers
Audit trail of hiring decisions

When in doubt

Consult employment counsel. EEOC investigations are expensive and time-consuming. Prevention via documented, consistent policies is cheaper.

CFR citations

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
Americans with Disabilities Act
Age Discrimination in Employment Act
Pregnancy Discrimination Act
