BFOQ

Read a random definition: legislative veto

A quick definition of BFOQ:

A Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) is a special rule that allows employers to not hire someone because of their religion, sex, or national origin. But, this can only happen if it is really important for the job and the employer can prove it. For example, a company can say they only want to hire women to be models for women's clothing. This is okay because it makes sense for the job. But, employers cannot use BFOQ to not hire someone because of their race. This rule is in place to prevent discrimination in the workplace.

A more thorough explanation:

A Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) is a legal exception that allows employers to refuse to hire someone based on their sex, religion, or national origin. This exception is only allowed in certain situations where these characteristics are necessary for the job.

For example, an airline may require that pilots retire at a certain age because they believe that older pilots may not be able to perform their duties safely. This is an example of a BFOQ because it is necessary for the job and related to the business's particular characteristics and needs.

It is important to note that BFOQ does not allow employers to discriminate based on race. This exception only applies to sex, religion, and national origin.

Other federal laws, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, also contain a BFOQ exemption. This exemption allows employers to discriminate based on age if it is necessary for the job.

In summary, BFOQ is a legal exception that allows employers to discriminate based on sex, religion, or national origin if it is necessary for the job. This exception is only allowed in certain situations and does not apply to race.
