1. Sandra “has it all”: a handsome and successfulhusband, a beautiful home in the city, and healthy gorgeous twingirls, aged 5. Most importantly, she is a busy venture capitalistwho invests in start up businesses. However, she is also theprimary caregiver to her invalid father who refuses to move into anursing home and lives in his own apartment across town. She iswhat we call a member of ‘the sandwich generation’ and needs helpmanaging everything.

Sandra decides to advertise andinterview for three different positions: 1) a personal caregiverfor her father; 2) a nanny for her daughters; and 3) a personalassistant for herself. Her father is a lovely man but holdsoutdated opinions on a number of issues, including, sadly,Japanese, Germans and Italians. He has never forgiven them for whathappened in World War Two. He wouldn’t tolerate anyone of thosebackgrounds being his caregiver. Sandra would like her daughters tolearn Mandarin and so wants to only hire someone Chinese as herdaughters’ nanny to speak to them entirely in proper and correctMandarin. Lastly, her husband is a very jealous man and would nottolerate her having a male assistant so she must only hire a womanfor that job.

What Human Rights Code issues mustSandra be aware of in both advertising and interviewing for thesepositions? Will she be able to hire who she wishes or will there beany HRC violations in any or all of these situations? Refer to caseand statute law where appropriate in support.
