WORKPLACE STATUTES AND PRACTICES

A variety of laws determine workplace practices that are crucial to legal management of an organization. Applicability of some of these depends on the level of funding an organization receives from the federal government (Drug-Free Workplace, Age Discrimination, Civil Rights Act of 1964, EEO compliance, etc.). Others depend on the number of employees in the organization. Specifically, organizations employing 15 or more people are subject to certain federal laws (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, etc.) enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Some state and local laws apply to even smaller employers.
