When disparate impact is considered, the implication is that there are specific regulations of employment which might show a tendency to be neutral in nature of operations and implications (Lewis, 2018). These regulations could be policies regarding employment of individuals or even practices regarding employment of individuals. However being neutral in nature, there can be inconsistency in operations of such employment regulations because such regulations cannot be applied to protected groups. These protected groups would be individuals covered by Title VII (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2015).
