The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings.

In terms or conditions of employment, disparate treatment occurs when an employee is intentionally treated differently by the employer due to race, color, religion, gender or national origin. Likewise, disparate impact is the discriminatory effect of apparently neutral employment criteria or selection devices. Further, disparate impact does not require intention to discriminate on the part of the employer. This type of impact disproportionately disqualifies employees based on race, color, sex, religion or national origin. The issue that surrounds the Griggs v.
