Re:        Employment Law Compliance Plan

Confidential

The memo I will be write today will provide a brief description of the employment laws and how they should be applied in the business. Also, I will write about the consequences of noncompliance for each one of the employment laws. The limousine company must obey the laws to remain in compliance if not Bradley will have to deal with the consequences. Furthermore, failing to comply with the laws could ruin the company reputation forever. The main purpose of this memo is to determine employment laws that will impact the limousine service in Texas.

Employment law is in place to ensure an equal and safe working environment for managers and workers. The manager of any business should refer to employment law to make sure they are in compliance with all aspects before hiring someone. It is mandatory that staff members have an equal understanding of an employment law. For example, if workers feel they are being mobbed it is significant they realize it is not acceptable and can take legal action against a boss.

           Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of nineteen sixty-seven requires managers to avoid employment discrimination against anyone at least at the age of forty in the United States. The act protects compensation plans, terms, and plenty of other privileges of employment. The act prevents the manager from refusing employment to the elderly. The law stops an employer from ignoring the capability of older workers because of his or her age. The worker has the right to file a grievance against the manager legally (Employment Law Firms, 2013).

The noncompliance consequences for violation of the ADEA are that businesses have to pay the workers all wages, benefits and other types of compensation lost because of the discrimination. A manager could take action to remedy the effects of discrimination by rehiring or promoting the worker. For instance, if the judge finds that action is justified but impracticable he or she might require the boss to pay front pay compensation. Studies in the past have proven that there are excellent benefits to having an older group of workers in the workplace. Furthermore, the older generation has been working different jobs their whole life and dedicated themselves to being hard working employees and excellent problem solver. The elderly workers have some traits and talents that the young generation workers were never taught.
