An Employer Considering an "English-Only" Job Requirement Should Be Aware

question 2

Multiple Choice

An employer considering an "English-only" job requirement should be aware that:

• A) "English-only" job requirements are not permitted regardless of the circumstances.
• B) The employer should carefully consider the degree of fluency necessary for each job. This degree of fluency may not be the same for all areas of the workplace so a blanket policy may not work. The employer should establish a level of English fluency for each area, as appropriate.
• C) The employer should carefully consider the degree of fluency necessary for the workplace, and should craft a policy that reflects the minimum degree of fluency necessary for any job within the workplace to avoid a charge of discrimination.
• D) If the employer employs 100 or more non-English speaking employees, the employer may not implement an English-only rule, and must provide a translation for all important workplace instructions based on the language spoken by the majority of non-English speaking employees.
