Question No. 1: Discrimination Laws
Employment discrimination laws are made in order to protect employees from any discrimination based on gender, race, religion, nationality and age. Discriminatory rituals include biasness from the management side in terms of hiring, task assignment, compensation, termination, retaliation and promotion.
The main body of laws for discrimination laws involves federal and state statutes. Almost all countries have the two following laws.
- Each individual shall receive equal protection as per the laws.
- The state cannot violate the rights of an individual of due process and equal protection.
In terms of employment, the first law can be interpreted as that, equal protection binds the power of the government and the state to discriminate individuals in their employment practices by treating employees, job applicants and former employees unequally because of any factor (sex, race, religion, age).
The second law can be interpreted as that, the protection of an employee under due process binds the company and state to give the employee fair treatment before their treatment. This is if the termination of the employee is related to liberty, i.e. the right to freedom of speech. (School, 2018)
