...Provide at least one example of acceptable discrimination. ------------------------------------------------- During the recruiting and selection process, it’s important to be aware of certain legal issues in order to avoid risk. It is the responsibility of the human resource manager to make sure that all the policies and rules take legal aspects into account. The legal aspects of human resource management play a significant role in strategic planning and decision making. There are 4 major types of legislation that affects employment practices recruitment and selection: * Constitutional Law (Nationwide) * Human Rights Legislation (in ON, there are Ontario human rights commission) * Employment Equity * Labour Laws (including unions as an extension) 1) Constitutional Law (Nationwide): Constitutional Law is the supreme law of Canada. It consists of series of acts and orders passed in 1867 by the British and Canadian Parliaments. It has precedence impact on employment practices and all other legal means. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom was passed in 1982. It is the part of the Constitution of Canada; because of this, the Charter is a very powerful document. However in a practical matter, the constitutional law does not affect directly on recruitment and selection process unless it has been challenged in human rights tribunal or court. The Constitutional law have sets some limits and conditions on what the federal, provincial and municipal...

...factors, along with changes in technology, all impact and shape the organization and affect marketing decisions. This paper will identify environmental factors that shape the organization and impact marketing decisions. It will discuss the influence of global economic interdependence and the effect on trade practices and agreements. The paper will discuss the importance of demographics and physical infrastructure, analyzes cultural differences, and examines the importance of social responsibility. Finally, the paper will analyze the effect of political systems and its influence on international relations, the influence of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, and the influence of local, national and international legislation on Ikea’s business practices. There are many macro-economic factors that impact and shape marketing decisions at Ikea. These factors include economic, environmental, political, social, technological, legal and cultural (Unknown, 2007). These factors influence the decisions the organization makes, how it operates nationally and globally and how it will adjust to the factors to ensure the business will continue to operate smoothly. Politically, Ikea is impacted by local government and what products the local government believes that is best for the area. Because of the size of the physical store, the corporation must get special permission from local governments to ensure its size will have minimal impact on the local area, traffic and transportation...

...1) There are four major types of legislation that affect recruitment and selection in a non-unionized workplace within Saskatchewan. Those types of legislation being: • Constitutional law • Human Rights law • Employment Equity legislation and • Labour law/employment standards and related legislation. Constitutional law as a whole is the supreme law of Canada and has precedence over all other legal means; it consists of a series of Acts and orders passed since 1867 by the British and Canadian Parliaments. Sections 1 – 34 of Part 1 of the Constitution Act of 1982 are called the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Constitutional law does not directly affect recruitment and selection activities unless the recruitment and selection practices are challenged in a Human Rights Tribunal or court. Constitutional law sets limits and conditions on what federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal governments and courts can legally do to alter employment policies and practices. Therefore, the interpretation of constitutional law has a substantial influence on every aspect of Human Resource Management not just Recruitment & Selection practices and programs. Human Rights laws across Canada prohibit discrimination in both employment and the provisions of goods and services. Grounds on which discrimination is prohibited in Saskatchewan are: • Race or colour • Religion • Physical or mental disability • Age • Sec (includes pregnancy and childbirth) • Marital status ...

...employment relationships in small communities ceased to provide adequate protection against the abuses incidental to new forms of mining and manufacture on a rapidly increasing scale at precisely the time when the 18th-century Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the political forces that they set in motion were creating the elements of the modern social conscience. It developed rather slowly, chiefly in the more industrialized countries of Western Europe, during the 19th century and attained its present importance, relative maturity, and worldwide acceptance only during the 20th century. The first landmark of modern labour law was the British Health and Morals of Apprentices Act of 1802, sponsored by the elder Sir Robert Peel. Similar legislation for the protection of the young was adopted in Zürich in 1815 and in France in 1841. By 1848 the first legal limitation of the working hours of adults was adopted by the Landsgemeinde (citizens’ assembly) of the Swiss canton of Glarus. Sickness insurance and...

...value of the PEST analysis depends on the way it is used. Hence, the following article not only describes the content of this tool, it also provides advice for its practical application and interpretation. Content The PEST or PESTLE is a useful starting point for the analysis of an organizations external environment and the forces at work there. PESTLE stands for political, economical, socio-cultural, technological, legal and ecological factors. There are different opinions in literature about the inclusion of legal and ecological factors. Their importance doubtlessly differs from industry to industry. In case such factors are of high relevance to an industry, they should be analyzed separately. In industries that are less influenced by legal and ecological factors, they could be allocated to the other categories, e.g. legislation as a political factor or ecological awareness as a socio-cultural factor. In any case it is important to include only external factors which an organization cannot influence by itself. The following chart shows some examples for typical content of a PEST. These examples are not comprehensive; they should be modified according of the actual subject of analysis. Political Legislation (current and pending) Laws relating to the industry Tax laws Regulation of transfer for capital and labour Stability of the political system Membership in free trade areas Economical Development of relevant economic indicators Business cycles Unemployment Availability of relevant...

...Timeline of the History of Australian Occupational Health and Safety Laws 1. The early history of Occupational Health and Safety Laws and significant historical events that helped to shape current laws 1833 The first HM Factory Inspectorate was formed in the UK. The major goal of the Inspectorate was to inspect factories and workshops to prevent injuries of child textile workers (Factories and Workshops: Annual Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories and Workshops, 1842, p. 9). 1837 Priestly vs. Fowler case in the UK was used to establish occupational health and safety as part of common law. In this case, a butcher’s assistant sued his employer after he fell from the overloaded cart and was injured (Bohle & Quinlan, 2000, p. 319). 1840 A Royal Commission in the UK published the findings on the state of working conditions in the mining industry, documenting the appallingly dangerous conditions for workers and high rate of accidents (including fatal ones) in mines. This case led to the public outrage and the adoption of the Mines Act of 1842. The Mines Act led to the establishment of an Inspectorate for mines and collieries to improve safety environment and prosecutions. Under this act, inspectors had the right to enter and inspect premises at their discretion by 1850 (Lavalette, 1999, p. 101). 1880 One of the first voluntary standardizing bodies, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) was established . Actually, the creation of ASME was connected with...

...surrounding financial services compliance along the industries lines of legislative, economic, industry driven, political, environmental and possible scandals relating to all of these areas. The information has been gathered from the British Virgin Islands jurisdiction from sources such as Financial Services Commission, British Virgin Islands Government and internationally, from the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the text, International Compliance Training Ltd. The research is basically theoretically driven to ascertain if the industry would be better off with regulation or left for participants to operate freely. Introduction: Scandals (such as Enron, WorldCom), the September 11 attack and financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 brought attention to loopholes of legislation that market participants have been taking advantage of for years. It was never the intention of regulation to cause market abuse, insider dealings or loss of investments or tangible properties. This paper details the shortcoming of legislation but also highlights how an effective regulatory environment can be achieved. What is Regulation? Regulation is defined according to the International Compliance Training Ltd as a set of binding rules by a public or private body with the necessary authority to supervise compliance and apply sanctions, penalties etc. for non-compliance (International Compliance Training, 2015). All financial services...

...unexpected spikes in utility costs and the unpredictable revenues gained or lost from natural resources such as Oil and Natural Gas or any other resource specific to a state’s gain in revenue. Government Financial Planning State Government will spend a vast amount of time planning for upcoming fiscal years and the budgetary requirements needed to sustain the states operations during that particular fiscal year. Unfortunately many planners look at the big picture only and leave the small details to the individual state agencies to overcome the shortages within their operating budgets that were appropriated and distributed to them through legislation. One of the drawbacks is when legislation passes new requirements such as energy reduction, but fails to include how this new requirement are to be funded and how this type of action impacts the budgets of state agencies especially ones that are already operating on a small budget. Financial analysis planning for local and state government may be impacted severely if total inclusions of budgetary items are not forecast in advance. These items may include pay raises, marketing, price drop in natural resources such as oil and gas and increased...

...A. Physical Destination Planning- A Supply-led Approach • In 1970s, a range of recreation plans, foreshore studies and a local environmental plan for Lake Macquarie, still influenced by the prescriptive methods and approaches of physical land use master planning was prepared. These plans and policy documents adopted standards for the provision of open space and recreation facilities and identified sites for recreation and tourism development. • In 1977, the Lake Macquarie City council formed a Lake Macquarie tourist facilities development panel, the task of which was to identify and develop the tourism capacity of the local area. • Identify and investigate sites of potential tourism development and to advise on how tourism development might be achieved. B. Building Markets- A Demand-led Approach • By 1980s, tourism had become an important economic activity in many regional areas of Australia. Strong growth in international visitation, particularly from Asian and North American markets, drove a push to build tourism resorts and to increase yield by building integrated products and experiences. • These resort developments were usually characterized by high financial risk and long lead times before financial returns could be made and were targeted at international markets sensitive to international economic conditions. • Economic conditions weakened (most notably, interest rates rose and investor confidence weakened)...

...State of Australian Cities Conference 2015 Sustainability at the Australian local government level: Is there room for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)? Umberto Baresi1, Karen J. Vella2, and Neil G. Sipe1 School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management, The University of Queensland 2 School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, Queensland University of Technology 1 Abstract: Recent calls in Australia have addressed the need for better integration of planning processes. The consequent effort made by the government has been, and still is, reshaping the way urban and regional planning and sustainability are managed. Focusing on planning practices at the local and regional levels, we investigate how environmental sustainability is pursued from an institutional perspective. Specifically, we analyse the way that planning in Australian cities aims to achieve sustainable strategies and reflect on the relationship with ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment’. This paper has four goals. First, sustainable planning practices at the local and regional levels are analysed considering the legislative and organizational frameworks of each state. The goal is to identify, through an analysis of planning documents, how much discretion is given to local councils to address sustainable strategies. Second, we focus on two regions and four cities in Queensland, to outline strengths and weaknesses of current legislative and practical frameworks. We use analytical criteria from...

...What are the four legal means that affect employment practices in Canada? Identify and briefly describe each one. (20 marks) The four legal means that affect employment practices in Canada are: 1. Constitutional law. 2. Human rights legislation. 3. Employment equity legislation. 4. Labour law, employment standard and related legislation. Constitutional law: Constitutional law is the core of supreme law of Canada that incorporates all written act, statutory rules and the rules of common law. It also includes conventions which are derived from British constitutional history [1]. “All law in Canada come into force on a dispute between private person and the branch of government fall under this constitution.” [2] According to textbook, Employment law sometimes refers a section of constitution which describes (section 15, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom) the principle of equality right. Practically, constitutional law does not have any direct impact on recruitment and selection process but has an indirect impact for setting limits and conditions of federal/provincial/territorial employment practices. Human rights Legislation: All province and territory including federal government, established a human rights act or code to prohibit discrimination in employment. The Canadian Human Rights Act has established in 1977, by the federal government. The goal of this act is to establish equal opportunity for those who could be the victim of discriminatory practices based on...
