Some examples are:</p> <ul> <li>A bank has lending rules that make it unreasonably difficult for new immigrants to get loans. This may be a case of discrimination based on two grounds — <strong>race and national or ethnic origin</strong>.</li> <li>A person is systematically referred to secondary screening at airports due to the colour of their skin. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>colour</strong>.</li> <li>An employer assigns her employees to weekend shifts without recognizing that some employees observe the Sabbath and cannot work on those days. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>religion</strong>.</li> <li>An employer’s physical fitness requirements are based on the capabilities of an average 25 year old instead of being based on the actual requirements of the job. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>age</strong>.</li> <li>A female employee with an excellent performance record announces that she is pregnant. Immediately, her employer begins to identify performance issues that lead to her dismissal. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>sex</strong>.</li> <li>A policy provides benefits to some married couples but not to others. This may be a case of discrimination based on two grounds — <strong>sexual orientation</strong> and <strong>marital status</strong>.</li> <li>After having a child, a woman cannot find childcare to continue working overnight shifts, and her employer does not allow flexibility by scheduling her on day shifts. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>family status</strong>.</li> <li>An employer requires all employees to have a valid driver’s licence. People who cannot drive due to a disability are not given an opportunity to show how they could still perform the job by, for example, using public transit. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>disability</strong>.</li> <li>A person is denied a job because of a previous conviction for which a pardon has been granted or a record has been suspended. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>pardoned conviction</strong>.</li> <li>Someone is denied a job because they shared the results of their genetic testing with a potential employer. This may be a case of discrimination based on the ground of <strong>genetic characteristics</strong>.</li> <li>A policy requires that a person identifies themselves as either male or female. This may be a case of discrimination based on <strong>gender identity or expression</strong>.</li> </ul> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <div data-history-node-id="4" role="article"
