In March 2014 ACAS launched ‘The Equality Act 2010 – Guidance for Employers’ setting out simple guidelines employers should follow. This forms part of their reconciliation

Equal Employment Opportunity laws are intended to give all specialists reasonable thought on the premise of occupation execution as opposed to any insignificant individual variables. The Equal Pay Act restricts sex segregation as wages paid to men and ladies doing the same kind of work, in occupations that require a similar fitness and responsibility, with equivalent working conditions, in a similar association. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.

The running and operation of businesses poses the risks of loss and liability in the case of tort negligence or breach of contract. However, the business legal structure of a given organization greatly determines the risk of exposure to personal liability (Bevans, 2006). The paper investigates and compares the risk of exposure to personal liability in five business entities and explores how the risk can be mitigated. Business personal liability risk is classified as limited and unlimited. In unlimited liability, the personal assets in addition to business assets can be seized (Hillman & Loewenstein, 2015). Limited liability as seen in limited partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies significantly reduce the risk of exposure to personal liability. Opening a limited partnership in addition to taking insurance to protect the business offers the best chance of averting the risk for personal liability risk (Schich, 2009).

The Equal Employment Opportunity law protects anyone and everyone from discrimination and it is what it says it is, equal employment. The ones listed in the text in this weeks reading assignment (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, and Cardy) and legal protections are provided by federal equal employment opportunity laws are Equal Pay Act 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII and Pregnancy, Sexual Harassment, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Executive Order 11246, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, & Cardy, 2012, p. 96).

The laws that exist today regarding equal employment are used to protect individuals from discriminatory acts from their employers or co-workers on the job. The two theories that mostly affect business decisions are the disparate treatment and disparate impact. These two theories allows individuals to file claims against employers for discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, equal pay, disabilities, national origin and so forth. To oversee these theories of practice, the EEOC was put into place, making sure that businesses understood the underlying principles of the law regarding discriminatory practices and enforced the law where it was necessary. However, no law is met without fear and

The Azusa Street Revival is an event that took place in 1906. William J. Seymour, was a man who was led by the Holy Spirit to revive the industrial streets of Los Angeles, where they used skin color and race to segregate the church. When you think about church do you think segregation? No, you would think the church would be the last place where there would be segregation. Many were seeking for more from God, particularly in the holiness groups. Some were offering divine healing prayer with notable results. Others were asking God for a Pentecostal outpouring of holiness and power. From 1901 reports of the baptism in the Holy Spirit accompanied by speaking with other tongues and other supernatural manifestations, associated with the

As we touched on in class, I have mixed feelings about them being held personally responsible, As it could be A slippery slope that could have potential to affect us individual employee of corporations for an hour that was made. In order for them to be held personally responsible, they should've committed a crime or willfully deceived the law with bad intent. Otherwise, I just believe it should be handled with an in-house suspension and/or termination on the employer side. Should individuals that received the benefit of illegal activity or bribery also be held responsible either criminally or civilly be held responsible my views would be are identical to the about you need to have a bad intent in order to help people responsible financially

I know a little about a lot of things but not a lot about one thing.

Personal Responsibility is something many of us will either run from or accept. According to Kimberly Alyn (2010), “Personal Responsibility is becoming more and more scarce in our society. People want to blame everyone else for everything that goes wrong....creating a lack of trust ….as well as lack of respect” (p. 76). It is also has the power to change the lives of others as

Equal Employment Opportunity guaranties employees a fair treatment. This means that employers cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of age, race, sex, creed, religion, color, or national origin. Equal Opportunity applies to employment practices such as hiring, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment, advertising, layoff, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, selection for training, job assignments, accessibility, working conditions and special duty details.

There are many definitions of personal responsibility. Everyone has their own definitions of what personal responsibility and what should be included in personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is defined as the quality or state of being accountable; especially an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility, or account for one’s actions. Also, personal responsibility can mean, to be responsible for oneself, one word admit to one’s mistakes, make an effort to make mistakes, make an effort to make those mistakes right, and live in a way that does not harm others whenever possible. What it means to me is that a person will be held responsible or take responsibility for their own actions. Also, that whatever actions a person

Liability has to do with the responsibility of one party, group or organization to another. Usually it deals with financial compensation. Liability may not always come from some intentional action or negligence. Sometimes liability can even be a way to keep peace between different parties rather than an injured party taking more serious action. The affixing of liability may have been enacted as a peace keeping intuitive. In law a person can be liable she or he is financially or legally responsible for something. Liability can be covered by insurance and can be imposed jointly. There is some different forms of liability such as vicarious liability which is the responsibility of an employer to compensate for the behavior and actions of a worker or an employee. You have strict liability which is for people who perform certain task such as working in ultra-hazardous types of work like high explosives. In strict liability those engaging in these actions are responsible for injury without the need for inquiry. Under strict liability there is no need to provide proof, negligence or intention. Limited liability is when business owners are legally and financially responsible for nothing more than the amount they have contributed to a particular venture. If a bank or business goes bankrupt an owner who has limited liability they will not lose unrelated assets like a home. Manufactures liability is a legal concept in many nations that shows the fact that producers of a products have a
