The whole work should involve identifying at least four employment laws, give a brief summary of each law, and also the consequences of its noncompliance.
Background Information A lot has happened over the last 40 years in America; in as far as the legislations and regulations governing business and organizations operations are concerned. The federal government has always done its best in managing and controlling the situation. It is from this stand that, companies like Atwood and Allen Consulting emerged. Issues like corrupt practices, discrimination on employment and environmental protection ,just to mention a few are effectively tackled, at present ,as much as possible than it was in the olden days. The employment laws that a company like Clapton Commercial Construction need to address involve the following; Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
This law covers the health care plan of employees, and also addresses any notable violations. It also involves the legislative information in as far as the health of employees is concerned. This law encompasses among other issues , the privacy requirements of the employees. The consequences of noncompliance with the law are very serious, and therefore the law must be followed by all employers, when getting involved with the affairs of their employees.
Equal Opportunity Employment
This law helps in fighting discrimination of any kind when employing workers. There should be no discrimination based on age, disabilities or even genetic information. The law must be adhered to like any other crucial law, governing areas of importance at work. This law brings into focus, the issues concerning lack of numbers. The employer should have no excuses whatsoever ,concerning employing people. Noncompliance with the law has serious consequences from the federal government .It is therefore very crucial for the employers to follow this law by all means possible.
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
The law addresses, and at the same time establishes standards for the pension plans of the employees, especially those in private industry. The plans involve the federal income tax, and also health benefit plans. This law is so important that it also must be followed by all means .Noncompliance of this law can lead to severe legal action from the federal government.
Environmental Management System
This law covers issues that are related to the policy of environmental protection. The law helps in controlling and checking waste reduction .It is a very useful law which covers all the legal standards on environmental protection, which must be maintained and managed by employers. The law states the advantages, and all implications and consequences that come from a better environment. Noncompliance to this law also has very severe consequences from the government.
Conclusion
The spirit and dedication of Atwood And Allen Consulting Company, goes hand in hand with the requirements of the federal government in identifying the boundaries of which companies and organizations must carry out their operations. The legal and upright behaviour of these companies must always be supported and enhanced. The services for Clapton Commercial Construction Company must therefore be provided up to the satisfied level .Any necessary adjustments, to this assignment shall be communicated to immediately they arise.
