Could your agency be the target of a $1 million employment civil rights suit? In an age that has seen million-dollar recoveries against firms for various kinds of discrimination, it is prudent to understand the law and to try to take preventive measures. (The numbers appearing in parentheses refer to legal citations at the end of the article.) A Brief History The civil rights laws of the United States started with the Bill of Rights, the constitutional amendments outlawing slavery after the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871 (1 ) . It is only in the 1960s, however, that they began having a wide impact on business. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extended protection against job discrimination because of race, religion, or national origin (2 ) . Opponents of the legislation added sex in an attempt to kill the bill, but the bill passed with sex discrimination in it, and sex discrimination is ...

... McKinney As the incidence of wrongful employment practice suits increases, savvy employers are taking proactive steps to control both the frequency and severity of claims. But even the most aggressive prevention measures won't completely insulate employers and others from loss. New insurance products covering employment-related liability can provide the backstop protection many employers need to avert catastrophe. Over the last 20 years, wrongful employment practice claims have risen at a rate 18 times faster than the proliferation of the Federal Court docket. In just four years-fiscal years 1990 to 1993- the Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) have recovered over $735 million from employers for violations of employment law. In 1994, a California State court in Los Angeles awarded nearly $90 million to two former Hughes Aircraft engineers because of discrimination. Even the largest law firm in the world found itself the target of an embarrassing sexual harassment suit. Today's businesses face not only the traditional obstacles of competition and keeping up with advances in technology, but must now face a whole new breed of potential adversary: one's own workforce. Even the best-run of companies are experiencing an explosion of employment-related claims. These can include: Wrongful discharge litigation Discrimination and sexual harassment claims Allegations of negligent hiring, retention, and supervision Wage and hour investigations Fringe benefit claims Increased unemployment, disability and Workers Compensation claims Unintended violations of Federal and state leave-of-absence laws Human resource professionals have known for years that communication of the employer's rules, policies, and procedures to the employees, as well as an early intervention in employment disputes or complaints, are effective in limiting ...

This article addresses the latest trends regarding the employment civil rights topics of race, sex and age discrimination. (The numbers in parentheses refer to legal citations at the end of the article.) Disability Discrimination The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) forbids employers of 15 or more employees from discriminating in employment because of disability.(1 ) Under California law the threshold is five employees.(2 ) Disability discrimination laws differ from most other employment civil rights statutes in two respects: They do not impose an absolute prohibition, since there clearly are some jobs that cannot be done by some disabled persons. However, they require covered employers to make reasonable efforts to accommodate a disability of an otherwise qualified worker so long as it does not result in undue hardship to the employer. The ADA frequently raises questions as to what is a disability. Alcohol and drug use are potential problem areas. ...

... function successfully, questions about that skill or experience are probably illegal. Process all candidates equally through your hiring procedure. In case of a legal challenge, it's important to be able to show that you have used a consistent procedure. Have every candidate complete an application. If you use testing, test all applicants. Check everyone's references. Then put each applicant's information in a candidate pool for evaluation and selection. Increasingly, state and federal governmental bodies regulate human resources issues. Before you begin interviewing candidates, it's a good idea to review the laws regulating the hiring process. You can obtain detailed information about these laws from your local Chamber of Commerce or from your state Department of Labor. Check the government pages of the phone book to contact these departments. The Application In cases claiming hiring discrimination, emphasis has been given to statistics gathered on applications collected over time. For example, if someone charges you with not hiring divorced people, and an audit of your applications shows that a disproportionate number of divorced people were bypassed, a case for discrimination against divorced people can be made. A good application form can help overcome the problems associated with discrimination in hiring. A question on an application is safe if it is job-related and the information requested is necessary for successful completion of the job. Standard application forms that comply with federal regulations are available through office supply stores, if you choose not to create your own. What To Ask And What Not To Ask Your application form should capture information about the candidate's work experience and qualifications for the position. The basic areas to explore, ...
