George Gregerson is a CPA. He has two full time employees and takes on a couple of temporary workers during tax time. On his 2018 job applications for his temporary workers, George used an old form that he got off the internet several years ago. The application includes a question about the applicant's criminal history. George has recently received a complaint from the Labor Commissioner filed by an applicant who asserts that the question about criminal history is unlawful. What is George's best defense to the complaint? A) George should respond that his office is not in Los Angeles County and, when the application was submitted, the Ban The Box law only applied in Los Angeles County. B) George should respond that because his business involves clients' sensitive financial information, he is entitled to ask about relevant criminal history because he would have to exclude anyone with a financial crime in his/her background. C) George should respond that he was unaware of the Ban The Box law because his application was an old form obtained off the internet. D) George should respond that he operates a small business that does not have to comply with the Ban The Box law.

Polar Industries has a zero tolerance policy for discrimination based on race, color, gender, national origin, religion or sexual orientation. The policy also states that employees will treat each other with respect without regard to race, color, gender, national origin, religion or sexual orientation. Estelle works for Polar and her supervisor puts her on a project team with four other co-workers, including Marty, an openly homosexual man. Estelle is a devote fundamentalist Christian and she believes that homosexuality is immoral. She refuses to communicate with Marty or work with him. She refuses to participate in meetings when he is in attendance. She believes that acknowledging Marty in any way would be to accept homosexuality, which goes against her religion. As a result, her team is having difficulty completing the project because of Estelle's issues. Polar should: A) fire Estelle unless she follows Polar's policy and cooperates with her team. B) do nothing because to force Estelle to change her conduct is a form of religious discrimination. C) move Estelle to a department with no homosexual employees. D) revoke its zero tolerance policy.
