4. Joe applied for a position in a daycare centre. The centre refused to interview him because it thinks that parents would be uncomfortable with having a man take care of their young children. Joe filed an application with the Human Rights Tribunal.

a) What is the alleged ground of discrimination? Hint: (Alleged means not yet proven in court to have occurred) b) In your opinion, did the employer contravene the Human Rights Code? Explain your answer.

Hint: (Contravene means to violate or not follow the law)

5. Increasingly, employers are using social networking sites to find out more information about job candidates in the employer's hiring process. Candidates are individuals an Employer is considering hiring, which means a candidate has not been hired yet and the candidate is not an employee of the employer. Then the employer is basing their hiring decisions in part on the information they find about the candidate on the social networking site. a) Is it a smart move by Employers to use social networking for hiring candidates or a human rights trap? Hint: (Human Rights trap means - Could Employers could get into trouble by using social networking sites as described in question #5)? b) What are some of the upsides and downsides of this approach? Hint: For the Employer, what are some of the benefits (upsides), or problems/issues that might result (downsides), of using this approach (by using social networking sites to find out more about job candidates)?
