Validity in the hiring and evaluation process.
Validity means "based on sound principles." Hiring decisions, discharges, and layoffs are often challenged in court. Unfortunately the employer's defenses are too often found "invalid." The Americans With Disabilities Act requires the employer to show a "validated" hiring process. Defense of discharges or layoffs often focuses on validity of the employer's decision. This article explains the elements of validity needed for sound and defendable employment decisions.
