Age & Religious Discrimination
As the new manager of human resources (HR), you remember
that during the interview process, your boss (the chief executive officer
[CEO]) specifically mentioned that he had heard something about the new Family
Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that some other local company CEOs had been dealing
with. He asked you to describe for him, through several examples, how policies
and procedures in the firm might change as a result of this legislation.
You plan to have a meeting with the company supervisors to
describe the law and to discuss how they might change their routine plans to
accommodate the Act (for example, what they should do given that the job the
employee on leave vacates has to be kept open upon that employee’s return.
Discuss at least 3 action items that supervisors should
address, given the existence of the FMLA.
