After reviewing applications, Timmy invites 10 candidates in for an interview.  The interview panel is comprised of the office manager, Helen, the service manager, Joe, and Timmy.  Based on the interviews, it was clear that one candidate, Sarah Morrison, was outstanding compared to all other applicants.  Sarah had recently moved to the area from another city where she had been a sales manager for 15 years.  Everyone agreed that she was the perfect candidate and planned to extend an offer to Sarah the next morning.   The next morning, Helen approached Timmy with some news.  She had met an old friend for dinner the night before.  The friend told Helen that she was four months pregnant and that, coincidentally, her new neighbor was also four months pregnant.  The pregnant neighbor was Sarah Morrison.  Helen said nothing to her friend about Sarah’s employment opportunity or pending job offer.  Timmy, Helen, and Joe discussed the potential consequences of hiring Sarah.  Timmy reminded the others that an employment decision could not be based on her pregnancy.  Helen observed that though legally this was true, from a practical standpoint the dealership could not afford to be without a sales manager for an extended period of time.  Timmy was also concerned about Sarah’s absence and her potential inability to work for long periods under intense pressure, especially when they needed to reduce inventory.  Helen also pointed out that although Sarah was clearly the best applicant, there were at least three other applicants who would be suitable sales managers. What are the legal and ethical issues involved in this case? Should Sarah have told Timmy that she was expecting?  Should the owner hire Sarah or some other applicant (should the information about the pregnancy be considered)? If Sarah is hired, how could Integrity Motors accommodate her pregnancy?
