An urban logistics company posts for a 'Quality Compliance Supervisor' with three prerequisites: (i) a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or an equivalent field; (ii) a certification in Quality Management Systems (for example, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor) or an equivalent quality management credential; (iii) at least four years of supervisory experience in a logistics or warehouse operation. Applicant A holds a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering and five years of supervisory experience but lacks the Quality Management certification. Applicant B holds the Quality Management certification but only has three years of supervisory experience. Applicant C holds all three prerequisites and has four and a half years of supervisory experience. The company rejects A and B and hires C. A files a complaint alleging that the company's use of occupational qualifications is unlawful. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine governing occupational qualifications under the Labor Code's management prerogative. (b) Distinguish legitimate occupational qualifications from other hiring requirements or discriminatory practices. (c) Apply the doctrine to this scenario and determine whether the company's hiring decision is legally permissible, explaining why.
