Small Business 2
In accessing the Equal Employment Opportunity Office (EEOC) website, I found it very hard to find a clear and concise reason as to why small businesses were treated differently than the larger businesses and why the law would differentiate between them. These smaller organizations are sometimes treated differently by the EEOC because they lack the resources that most large companies possess. Most small businesses can't afford to hire the best qualified people that larger businesses can and do. They may not be able to hire people that fit into the different classes (EEOC, 2008). For example, they may want to hire someone with a disabili ty but really can 't afford to because they would have to make reasonably accommodations for that person which could be very costly for small business owners.
Another reason they may be treated differently is the fact that small companies will not have a lot of ready cash on hand, because all the funds that are being generated goes back into the business. They also oftentimes lack human resources depm1ments or specialized EEO office to help manage their staffing needs (A rnold, 2009).
Many differences between small business and large business are really not that significant

Larger companies can maintain stockholders, but small businesses usually have owners, namely, Mom and Pop establishments' (Fuscaldo, 2012). Bei ng e mployed at a large company, there are rules a nd regulations to contend with in order to perform the job assigned. Small companies employees, on the other hand, have a tendency to have less bureaucracy, less organization, and fewer compl ications when performing their assigned task (Fuscaldo, 2012).
