Legal, Safety, and Regulatory Requirements

I will also explain why I agree or disagree with the above statement. I will focus on employee-related regulations established by the U.S., such as, Department of Labor, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Department of Homeland Security.
The Human resources departments occupy most of their time occupied with employee relationships. With critical diversity within employment discrimination laws that were introduced in the early 1990’s and brought about an increase in employment litigation. Some individuals may suggest that litigation has become a big part in today’s workplace, there seems to be no consideration or empathy towards each other. The surroundings of today’s workplace consist of many struggles that involve several different situations. Take in account an individual’s mental state as being a major reason for litigation, disorientation, misinterpretation, disgruntlement of having to face the daily obligations of home life and the workplace environment (Gilbert, n.d.). In today’s environment of litigation, organizations are having to staying inside large group of new employment laws and regulations that can at times be hard to do, especially if human resource methods are not correctly in position. Regulations which are associated with employees will involve the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Americans with Disability Act of 1990 (ADA), and also the Department of Homeland Security, all of which there to protect the U.S. Worker.
