Description

Legal Actions and Defenses

You are the assistant to the Human Resource (HR) Director of Raging Raves, a large company that has recently acquired Events R Us, a small business. Events R Us does not have a human resource management (HRM) policy manual, and to avoid legal actions and formal complaints, it is crucial that all managers understand at a minimum: workplace fairness, termination protocols, compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulations.

A mandatory training session has been scheduled for all managers.

The HR manager has asked you to prepare an 8–10-slide presentation for the meeting. They want to make sure that the following 8 topics are covered during the meeting:

  • What are the 12 categories of discrimination recognized by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)?
  • What role might disparate treatment and disparate impact play in an EEOC complaint?
  • What are some legitimate and defensible reasons for employee termination?
  • What evidence might be needed in an HR investigation?
  • What actions constitute good faith efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations? 

Your slide notes should include 200–250 words per slide.
