It occurs to me that I would be remiss and possibly even negligent (in the US) not to specifically define which behaviors are allowed in regards to decisions which require selecting people. Decisions which require selecting people in a business are but are not limited to those in which a smaller subset of people must be selected from a larger set of people in order to be allocated to some task that the larger subset of people will not do.
Part 4 – Governing the application of selecting people
4.1. Any employee shall be guilty of misconduct if, while in the performance of their work for the company, they select amongst persons based upon any other measures than price, proficiency, availability, willingness, and/or adherence to this code of conduct.
4.2. Any employee shall be guilty of misconduct if they willfully conceal or conspire to conceal any person’s price, proficiency, availability, willingness, and/or adherence to thiis code of conduct from observance by any employee who must make a decision which requires selecting people.
4.3. Any employee shall be guilty of misconduct if they willfully alter or conspire to alter the appearance of any person’s price, proficiency, availability, willingness, and/or adherence to this code of conduct to the senses of any employee who must make a decision which requires selecting people.
4.4. Decisions which require selecting people shall be but are not limited to those in which a smaller subset of people must be selected from a larger set of people to be allocated to some task that the larger subset of people will not do.
Note: Edited on 2023-09-09 to replace the word “discriminate” with the phrase “selecting people” because of the negative connotations of the word “discriminate.”
