It describes how an employer's practices can unintentionally discriminate against protected classes and outlines the legal framework for proving such claims.

Several examples are provided to illustrate disparate impact, such as personnel tests and credit history requirements. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the need for less discriminatory alternatives to meet business needs.
