The Federal and most state governments prohibit employers from discriminating against individuals above age 40 in the hiring, promotion and retirement process. Many employers and employees do not understand the law in this area. Frequently, reductions in force and reorganizations have the effect of violating laws prohibiting age discrimination.

Introduction to Employment Law for Sussex CIPD - 10 October 2019

Pure Employment Law

This presentation will uncover the implications of April 2, 2019, otherwise known as “Equal Pay Day,” the specific date this year when the average man in the United States could start work and earn the same amount by December 31 as the average woman, in the same job, who had worked all year long. Gender pay equity as a topic in the media is back with a vengeance, courtesy of #MeToo and #TimesUp. Discussions about what it’s going to take to eradicate harassment and discrimination in the workplace inevitably leads us to these questions: Is it “good enough” for employers to simply acknowledge the gender discrimination inherent in acts of sexual harassment? Or, is it time to step past acknowledgement, and into action, to truly rectify the pay equity gap? Regardless of what your company’s views and current efforts are, it’s important as an HR professional to be aware that the state, city or other local jurisdiction in which you operate may have gender-equalizing laws in place.

This presentation will review the implications of March 24, 2021, otherwise known as “Equal Pay Day,” the specific date this year when the average man in the United States could start work and earn the same amount by December 31 as the average woman, in the same job, who had worked all year long. In recent years, gender pay equity has experienced a continuous sense of “one step forward; two steps back”. EEO-1 Component 2 reporting, as a tool for identifying specific regions, industries and organizations where this type of discrimination is most pronounced has arrived, departed, and is now poised to arrive again at HR professionals’ desks. Discussions about what it’s going to take to eradicate sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination in the workplace (the #MeToo movement) inevitably lead us to questions like: Is it “good enough” for employers to simply acknowledge the gender discrimination inherent in acts of sexual harassment? Or is it time to step past the words, and into action, and to focus on the steps we need to take to truly rectify the pay equity gap? Regardless of what your company’s views and current efforts are, it’s also important that every HR professional be aware that the state, city or other local jurisdiction in which you operate may have gender-equalizing laws in place.

Chapter Twenty one Employment Discrimination Being an employer was so much easier 100 years ago. Managers could use almost any criteria for hiring, promoting, and firing employees. Today, employers’ decision-making powers are restricted by both federal and state laws, many of which are discussed in this chapter. The right of the employer to terminate an employment relationship was originally governed almost exclusively by the employment-at-will doctrine, discussed in the first section of this chapter. The second section discusses the constitutional provisions that affect an employer’s ability to hire and fire workers. The following six sections discuss each of the major pieces of federal legislation designed to prohibit discrimination in employment; these acts are discussed in the order of their enactment. The ninth section discusses the increasingly controversial subject of affirmative action. Global dimensions of employment discrimination are discussed in the final section.Critical Thinking About The Law You will soon be a businessperson and may be responsible for hiring, promoting, and firing people. When you hold this position, you need to be aware of federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination in employment. Why do you think the government has prohibited discrimination in employment? What ethical norm does the government emphasize by prohibiting discrimination in employment? The government seems to emphasize justice, in the sense that it wants all human beings to be treated equally, regardless of class, race, gender, age, and so on. Reading the following case example and answering the critical thinking questions will sharpen your thinking about laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Tom, Jonathan, and Bob were hired to work as executive secretaries at a major corporation. The other secretaries for the corporation were surprised that three men were hired, because no man had ever before been hired as a secretary at the corporation. All secretaries were required to type 20 five-page reports each day in addition to completing work for their respective departments. After the male secretaries had been working at the corporation for approximately one month, they received pay raises. None of the female secretaries received raises. When the women asked the manager why the male secretaries had received raises, the manager claimed that the men were performing extra duties and consequently received raises. 1. The manager claimed that the men received raises because they were performing extra duties. Can you identify any potential problems in the manager’s response? Clue: What words or phrases are ambiguous in the manager’s response? 2. The female secretaries decided to bring a suit against the corporation. They claimed that they did not receive raises because of their gender. Assume that you are a lawyer and the female secretaries have come to you with their complaint. After talking with the secretaries, you realize that you need some .

Chapter 6 - Applicant Screening and Employee Socialization Security and Loss Prevention: An Introduction, 5th Edition by Philip P. Purpura Butterworth-Heinemann © 2008 Citation Employment Law Government regulation affects the balance and working relationship between employers and employees in three major areas: (1) the prohibition of employment discrimination; (2) the promotion of a safe and healthy workplace; and (3) fair negotiation between management and labor concerning terms of employment (Mann and Roberts, 2001: 858). Here we begin with major federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination, followed by applicant screening methods. The laws on workplace safety and labor are covered in other chapters. It is important to note that beyond the federal law emphasized here, and executive orders of presidents, are state and municipal laws that exceed federal legal requirements and state court decisions that interpret state laws. For instance, several states consider sexual orientation a "protected class." Also, many corporations have policies to protect employees on the basis of sexual orientation (DeCenzo and Robbins, 2005: 62). Federal Legislation ◾ Equal Pay Act of 1963: This legislation requires that men and women be paid equally if they work at the same location at similar jobs. Exceptions include a seniority or merit system and earnings through quantity or quality of production. The act is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). ◾ Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII: This law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, or national origin. Title VII prohibits discrimination with regard to any employment condition, including recruiting, screening, hiring, training, compensating, evaluating, promoting, disciplining, and firing. It also prohibits retaliation against an individual who files a charge of discrimination. The law impacts both public and private sectors. Title VII requires that organizations go beyond discontinuing discriminatory practices and gives preferences to minority group members in employment decisions; this is referred to as affirmative action. Congress established the EEOC to enforce Title VII. ◾ Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967: The ADEA prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of age in areas such as hiring, firing, and compensating. It applies to private employers with 20 or more employees and all government units. This law protects employees between 40 and 65 years of age, but in 1978 the law was amended to afford protection to age 70, and then in 1986 the law was amended again to eliminate the upper age limit. Mandatory retirement is prohibited, absent a suitable defense. The act is enforced by the EEOC. ◾ Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972: The purpose of this federal law (EEO) is to strengthen Title VII by providing the EEOC with additional enforcement powers to file suits and issue cease-and- ...

Chapter 3 Equal Employment Opportunity and Human Resources Management Copyright ©2019 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. Learning Outcomes After studying this chapter, you should be able to Describe the major equal employment opportunity (EEO) laws related to age, gender, religion, weight, and sexual orientation. Determine the employment practices they prohibit and the reason behind passage of EEO legislation. Describe what a bona fide occupational qualification is. Explain how the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures were developed and how firms use them to ensure they are abiding by the law. Understand adverse impact and disparate treatment. Understand Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) record-keeping and posting requirements and describe how discrimination charges are processed by the EEOC. Explain what affirmative action is and how companies today are seeing the value of voluntarily having diverse workforces. Copyright ©2019 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. Discussion Starter #1 One of the ways companies can foster diversity within their organizations is by getting employees to talk about their differences. For example, the Mallon Group Training and Management has developed a series of Know Me games that enable participants of different cultures, races, sexual orientations, and so forth to explore issues of diversity together. What are some other ways that companies can foster diversity within their organizations? Copyright ©2019 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. 3 ANSWER: Students’ answers will vary. Some suggested examples may include to implement a diversity training program, create a diversity committee, include opportunities for staff to interact in settings outside of the office so that employees learn about and feel more comfortable with their coworkers, and recognize and acknowledge special days and events such as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination or Gay Pride events. Introduction Equal employment opportunity (EEO) – The treatment of individuals in all aspects of employment—hiring, promotion, training, etc.—in a fair and nonbiased manner Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) – The EEOC’s work consists of formulating EEO policy and approving all litigation involved in maintaining equal employment opportunity. The EEOC’s guidelines are not federal law but administrative rules and regulations published in the Federal Register The number of filings have gradually increased over the last 20 years, marking an increased importance for managers to know and comply with numerous EEO laws as the workforce becomes more diverse and multicultural. Copyright ©2019 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. 4 3.1 Historical Perspective of EEO Legislation Equal employment opportunity as a national priority has emerged slowly in the United States. Although the United States has progressed substantially in improving business practices and public attitudes about discrimina ...

2010 continued a three-year trend of record breaking EEOC charges, with 2010 charges the highest in the Commission’s 45-year history. Our challenging economy, increasingly diverse workforce, new EEO laws and recent court decisions are fueling this steady growth. Keeping up on the trends is critical to protecting your workplace, and sustaining a culture of respect and inclusion What does this mean for employers? Enhanced anti-discrimination efforts are mission critical. Effective cultural change, behavioral change, and risk management require innovative and integrated anti-discrimination programs. Now, more than ever, reviewing and refining your organization’s EEO compliance programs is essential.

Write comment for each person (140 words each), total 4 comments Person 1: Name:YUTING (She/Her) National Origin Discrimination In the world today, different races are free to live and work in their country of choice. In big nations like the USA that have one of the world's best economies, most companies will prefer hiring skilled labor that will support the organization to its productivity. Despite the progress, the United States has made over the years, and racial discrimination remains a big problem to solve (comission). National origin discrimination occurs when companies or organizations are hiring; they prefer a particular race. Productivity in a company usually depends on staff a company will employ. The market world requires quality in the products for the competition to remain. Hiring skilled workers irrespective of their nationality or ethnicity is essential (comission). However, you will find an employer who will refuse to hire a qualified worker based on race or national origin. The national origin should not determine the productivity of a person once employed in an organization. Policies and strategies set for hiring a worker in a particular company should apply to all the applicants for the job, and the one with most of the qualifications awarded the job. Moreover, most of the US citizens are Christians. Arabs or those who practice Islam face discrimination in the workplace. The employer perceives that Islam preaches against Christianity. The same way the employer will harass the employees; for instance, Arab employees would be a treat to the national security and the company according to the employer's race (Ford). This is because some of them come from countries that are in political instability due to terror attacks. Henceforth, they will end up feeling that they are not part of the other employees. The other employees discriminate against them; some will go through the discrimination, but others cannot withstand such national origin discrimination and therefore end up quitting work or fired based on their beliefs. Employment, therefore, denies the people their right to free association, breaking cohesiveness amongst them. Such employees are not even allowed to forge marriages with them. Other employees have faced discrimination because they do not meet a particular height requirement. For sure, height is not a basis that one fails to get the job; it is evident that the employer does not intend to offer the job to the applicant because of the race the applicant. Besides, The Mexicans and Africans in the Us receive minimum wages and get the least of the posts in an organization because the employer believes that they are very inferior (Midwest New media). To that, they cannot work like equals to his/her race. The whites will get higher positions in the company. There is a relief to this form of practice in the workplace. Various departments in the government that the issue concerns them have taken act ...

Required readings: · · From Managing human resources: Productivity, quality of work life, profits (9th ed.), read the following chapters: · The legal context of employment decisions · Procedural justice and ethics in employee relations · Safety, health, and employee assistance programs Unit 3: Module 3 (Sep 12 - Sep 18) Module 3 Overview This module focuses on specific civil rights and labor laws that govern HR policies and practices. You will also explore legal and ethical issues based on a scenario. In Module 1, we discussed the four forces that shape HR strategies: · Social · Technological · Economic · Political Federal, state, and local laws affect all of these domains, and your understanding of legal and governmental mandates and standards is vital to formulating a viable HR strategy. Many legislative and legal constraints affect business policies and HR planning. Understanding these issues can help avoid financial and legal issues in the future. For example, is an employee with diabetes who takes daily insulin protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? The answer is yes (The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 2008). If your managers fail to understand the ramifications of this detail, they could (even inadvertently) harass or otherwise discriminate against an employee who may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Your organization then may incur legal expenses to defend or settle the dispute, all of which could be very expensive. We will examine some of the major federal laws that impact HR on the following pages. You may also wish to explore the resources provided by SHRM and ASTD for best practices and benchmarks in civil rights and labor laws. HR professionals could refer to these sources for talent management as well. Strategic HR addresses legal and regulatory issues in terms of planning and policy. It helps guide businesses and organizations through red tape and encumbrances. In the first assignment in this module, you will discuss the federal, state, and local laws that drive HR policies, procedures, and practices. The second assignment will be your first Required Assignment of this course. You will identify ethical and legal issues involved in a merger and develop a plan to resolve these issues. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. (2008). The ADA: Your responsibilities as an employer. Retrieved fromhttp://www.eeoc.gov/facts/ada17.html Using the navigation on the left, please proceed to the next page. · Incorporate strategic human resource management principles in the development of programs that meet organizational needs and enable the organization to maintain a competitive advantage. · Distinguish between ethical and unethical behavior given certain organizational circumstances (both domestic and international) based on knowledge of basic employment law and ethical principles. · Recommend talent management strategies that support the HR strategi ...
