Abstract

Any person is unable to work at any workplace if his or her rights are not protected or he / she do not have any self respect among other employees. These are the core reasons that led to the development of the employment laws especially on the basis of particular discrimination. In the year 1941, a chain of laws were developed in order to particularly prohibit firing of employees on the basis of certain discrimination. Later, laws related to harassment were also devised in order to cover those aspects of misbehaving within the workplace that were not in the previous laws of employment which needed more attention now than ever. The purpose of the creation of this white position paper is to highlight the importance of the rules and regulations that are being devised for the employees so that they could work comfortably and in a more proper and decent manner within their workplace that would help the organization to achieve their organizational goal more quickly creating a good relationship with the employees as well.

Introduction

In past, there have been events in which the organization has made some serious violation in terms of employment laws by creating discrimination among various bases. The top level management started giving favors to those with whom they had good relations or they belonged to the same race, caste or creed or to any other background that was the same as of the person who was hiring the new employee. This led to the establishment of certain parameters so that the rights of the employees could be protected specially to protect the rights of those who were in less in number that is they belonged to the minorities group or had different religious or cultural background. This step created an equal employment opportunity for every single person, either male or female. Harassment on the workplace was also experienced previously but with the passage of time, this harassment took some serious turns that resulted in very troublesome events because of which the image of the working environment of the organization along with the name and prestige of the company was affected badly. The importance for specifying these employment laws and creating boundaries not for only local employees but also for those employees who belonged to any other country other than the country inn which the organization is operating are discussed below. These all aspects are very important to be covered from management point of view as in this case, the merger of two businesses have taken place and as a result of which the new human resource manager has devised some plans that are to be followed strictly so that the firm could achieve its goals successfully with full collaboration of its employees which could only be possible if the employees are satisfied with the working environment.
