illegally discriminating based on the previous factors could be anywhere from small fines to suspension of business practicing, to the complete shutdown of a business. The best way to avoid any of that is to have a diverse workforce that you see as equals. With that being said, I feel as though there are only two employees in Mr. Harvey’s dilemma that should be reviewed for termination. In my opinion, these employees produce the most risk when it comes to promoting a good work environment as…

religious beliefs while maintaining a neutral, productive atmosphere. There has been a 96% increase in religious-based discrimination claims from 2000 to 2010 (Ghumman 2013). In 2014 alone, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received 3,549 charges of religious discrimination (Overview of Employment Litigation 2014). This will require human resource…

They received $2.00 dollars per day, totaling a measly $65.00 dollars per month. In 2009, Henry’s Turkey went out of business, if only it could have been twenty years sooner. The case against Henry’s Turkey went to trial and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) won a total judgment of $240 million dollars for the abused workers.

Employers cannot be deny, limit, or refuse to refer employment based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. If an educator finds an…

workers say they have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace (Fleck, 2014). To combat age discrimination, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforce The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) which prevents discrimination against anyone age 40 years and older. It does not protect employees who are under the age of 40 years old (“Prohibited Employment Policies/Practices”, (n.d)). It also only applies to companies that regularly employ 20 or more employees.

how does one ‘fight’ these problems? There probably isn’t much that can be done if you are fired or offered a buyout, unless you are positive it is due to age. Then you can try to fight the layoff by filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Almost one-fourth of the claims filed with the EEOC are age-discrimination matters. (PBS News Hour, 2009)…

Introduction When employees seek employment, they do so with the intent of performing well at their jobs, getting paid appropriately for their performance, and with the understanding that if they have a need that arises, their employer will try to accommodate them as best possible, if they have the means to do so. With a diverse workforce, religion and disability are two categories that will always vary among employees and how the company meets those needs. Companies are very diverse and with…
