nformation on this pertinent question. This new edition has been completely updated and revised for more accessibility. This edition continues the practice of providing readers with a framework for understanding each federal EEO law in terms of six key questions:
- Who has rights (protected classes)?
- Who has duties (covered entities)?
- Which practices are prohibited (covered practices)?
- How do claims reach court (administrative procedures)?
- What are the penalties for breaking the law (remedies)?
- How are claims decided at trial (judicial scenarios)?
These questions offer a way for untangling the overlapping and complimentary features of the EEO laws as a group even when these laws protect the same classes (such as race or gender). Besides the latest EEO law information and a new chapter that highlights the major changes in these laws, this new edition now includes:
- Introductory sections for each chapter provide an overview of the chapter′s content.
- Opening key questions arranged by chapter headings so that the reader knows where to look to find a quick answer.
- Summary tables highlight and compare key cases, legal scenarios, and key topics.
- Brief within chapter summaries recap the effect of a law or summarizes a major topic.
- Compliance issues are discussed at the end of each chapter along with a list of "Do′s and Don′ts".
- Discussion questions end chapters and offer stimulating ideas for class discussions or personal reflection
Written for non-legal students and practitioners, this book gives readers the tools for avoiding workplace discrimination and preempting the need for litigation.
