Question

Must an employer extend an opportunity to all employs in the same rank? That is to say not just offer it to a select few. It should be noted the opportunity give a performance advantage in a commission driven environment.

Answer

Unless your place of employment is governed by union shop rules (e.g. Seniority, bumping) your employer is free to extend such opportunities to those it prefers provided that the people excluded are not excluded because of protected class or characteristic. (e.g. Race, ethnicity, sex, disability, age, etc.) if you feel there is unlawful discrimination based on a characteristic protected by law, contact the EEOC or the Pa HRC.
