Dealing with Laws Affecting Employment

29 October, 2015 - 15:23

Human resource people must be aware of all the laws that affect the workplace. An HRM professional might work with some of these laws:

  • Discrimination laws
  • Health-care requirements
  • Compensation requirements such as the minimum wage
  • Worker safety laws
  • Labor laws

The legal environment of HRM is always changing, so HRM must always be aware of changes taking place and then communicate those changes to the entire management organization. Rather than presenting a chapter focused on HRM laws, we will address these laws in each relevant chapter.
