A nurse has been terminated by the ICU manager. The nurse informs the manager her termination has violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act because she has had excellent appraisals. The manager confers with the human resource director
Which response by the HR director is appropriate? 1. ?Let?s review the employee?s last appraisal.?
2. ?Termination does not apply to this act.?
3. ?The employee may be terminated at any time.?
4. ?Did you terminate the nurse because of her religion affiliation??
1
Explanation: 1. Reviewing the employee?s previous appraisals would provide information whether the
employee has legal ground to file for wrongful termination. Termination does apply to this act
if it is a result of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. States have different regulations
regarding the criteria by which an employee may be terminated. The question describes the
issue as appraisals, not religion, being the concern for termination.
