Catalogue scope: employer discharge or disciplinary action under the disparate-treatment route only, subject to good-cause-scope. Not a general business-justification defense to hiring, non-disciplinary employment terms, agency referral/classification, union membership/referral, advertising, impact, retaliation or pension claims. A proffered reason can be rebutted as pretext; the claimant retains the ultimate Gross persuasion burden.
