Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 plan is to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants entering the United States for permanent settlement (Fix, and Passel, 2013). The Act required additional resources to join the Border Patrol Enforcement to control the movement of immigrants to the United States. Penalties were imposed to employer's providing employment opportunities to the undocumented employees to discourage illegal immigration. The Act required businesses, such as merchandise companies, hotels, workshops, and general stores hiring undocumented individuals and legalizing the undocumented population settling in the United States. Businesses who are noncompliant with this law result in penalties, such as civil fines, criminal penalties, and prevention from government contracts. Court orders require payments from back pay to the individual’s involved in the discrimination. Courts require employers to hire individuals involved in discrimination cases (Fix, Passel, 2013).

There are many different functions and roles of law in the business society. When describing employment law, there is a broad area that governs how employers interact with their employees, former employees and applicants for employment. These laws and regulations are not meant to be described in a short paper. They are detailed laws that require application to an employee’s specific situation and should be discussed at length to ensure the correct interpretation of the regulation. As an office manager that was put in charge of the Human Resources department of my organization, I was thrust into a world of complex laws that took many hours to
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is one of the most significant laws in American History. Before the ADA was passed, employers were able to deny employment to a disabled worker, simply because he or she was disabled. With no other reason other than the person's physical disability, they were turned away or released from a job. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The act guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, State and local government services, and telecommunications. The ADA not only opened the door for

4. Explain why the disclaimer in the employee manual does not have the effect desired by the employer. Champion Jogbra employee manual was unclear and misleading. Disclaimers when used should contain language that is clear, specific and communicated effectively to the employees. Disclaimers when used should be presented in a manner that is prominent and obvious manner, (Walsh). Champion Jogbra, on one hand the employer, will provide fair and equal treatment, on another hand the employee can be terminated at anytime. These are mixed messages the employer, Jogbra was providing its employees. Policies listed in the employee handbook made the employees feel as though their job was protected, even though Champion Jogbra does not offer employment contracts. The guidelines listed in the employee handbook as champion Jogbra so eloquently called them are not a part of an employment contract and should not be taken as such. However the guidelines were vague and gave the employees false pretense that their

Several factors come into play when addressing the limitations and restrictions of an employer. Many laws and regulations have been enacted to address issues arising with employer to employee relationship. Our text acknowledges these laws are a collection of local, state and federal laws that depends on each individual situation to determine what level of focus will best relate to the issue at hand and come from the constitution, different statutes, Executive orders and regulatory agencies designed to administer and govern these laws (Walsh, 2014). Walsh goes on to acknowledge, once a human resource agent understands how laws are enacted, it becomes important to understand which law will best represent the situation that has occurred and deciding if your organization is private or public, part of a union or nonunionized and the size of the organization will be a determinant factor in the direction HR will want to pursue. Finally, before addressing the actual issue at hand, it is important for HR to understand who can file a lawsuit and simple issues such as the limitation period that states an employee must file a claim within a certain amount of time (Walsh, 2013). Many issues must be addressed before one can discuss the authority and legality of an employee handbook, along with the rights and responsibilities afforded and withheld from such a document.
