Activity 2.2 | Case Scenario

Hiring

You are newly in the role of an Administrator of a childcare centre, and you need to hire new staff and need to advertise in a few job banks.

Step One
Visit Employment advertisements and discrimination - BC Human Rights Tribunal.

Step Two
Reflect on these prompts:

  1. What are some things you need to consider when writing an employment advertisement for an employee? List them. 
  2. After you have advertised, and selected people to hire, what are some things you need to make sure you are not discriminating against when hiring? 

Example: You have two people who are equally qualified for the position, with very similar education, certification and job experience. You think they would fit nicely with the team and are excited to hire one of them! 

After the interview, a superior staff member commented that you should not hire one of the people as they are a single parent. 

  • How might you approach them and share with them that you cannot discriminate against a prospective employee based on their family status? 
Step Three
Write your considerations in your journal.
