On January 19, I sent an announcement about the different types of laws affecting HR in the US.
As a reminder, at the federal level (which we are concerned about in this course) there are the
following types of laws:
Federal laws - laws that are passed by both houses of Congress that are applicable in all 50 states
and US territories.
Executive order - law passed by order of the President. Executive orders on employment matters
most often affect federal employees only (which is why we didn't include them in the activity).
Many times, executive orders are used as a "motivation" for the passage of federal laws.
Statutory laws - interpretation of federal law developed by federal agencies, like the EEOC.
Rules, that have the same power as the law itself, are created through the power the federal
government has invested in the agency. This is also known as agency law.
Judicial law - interpretation of federal law by judges, including the Supreme Court. It is
impossible for the "letter of the law" to be all inclusive when it is passed by Congress, so courts
are used to define and interpret intent. An excellent recent example is the recent ruling by the
Supreme Court that gender protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes
protection for sexual preference and gender identity.
The bad thing about textbooks, especially those in law, is that they are practically out of date as
soon as they are published. The Walsh book is no exception. So much has happened in the world
of HR law since it was published, and that is what made me create this assignment.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Your task is to pick a topic from the chapter 9 from Walsh, D.J. (2019). Employment Law for
Human Resource Practice , and do a legal update for it. Specifically, I want you to look for
changes in the law since January 2021 for the 4 areas listed above. For judicial law, focus on the
federal district courts and higher. In your submission, indicate the changes that have occurred to
law at each level. Be specific, include exact laws, executive orders and/or cases. Be sure to
include citations in your submission. I strongly recommend that you use the DOL, EEOC and
SHRM websites to help focus your search.
