Editor's Notes

  1. There are a number of laws that will affect your hiring process, particularly in the area of discrimination. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment practices when the discrimination is based on a person’s race, color, sex, religion or national origin. The federal law applies to organizations with 15 or more employees. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 extends discrimination protection to persons aged 40 years old and older for organizations of 20 or more employees. Passed as an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1975 makes it illegal to refuse to employ a woman because of pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition. The basic principle of the act is that a woman affected by pregnancy or other related medical condition must be treated the same as any other applicant in the recruitment and selection process. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in organizations of 15 or more employees. The ADA also requires that the employer offer reasonable accommodations to disabled individuals so that they have equal opportunity to apply for job openings and if hired, to be successful in their job functions. Many states and local communities have passed legislation that extends discrimination protection beyond the scope of federal laws. If you are not sure of the regulations in your state, contact your state department of labor for information on appropriate laws in your area and remember that it is important for you to remain current on employment law, as regulations are frequently updated. Additional information on legal compliance can be found at the EEOC website at www.eeoc.gov and at the website for the Department of Labor at www.dol.gov.
