There are several laws covered under the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Process. To begin with, you have Title VII which was put in place in order to protect the women and minorities of the workforce. Furthermore, another law that is protected in the guidelines is the Equal Employment Opportunity Act also known as Affirmative Action, which was set in place to aid in any inequalities that might be present in the hiring and promotion process. With the comments made by the managers there are blatant inequalities placed for women who aspire in having this position. Some other laws that are not addressed under this guideline, but the managers should be aware of is the Age Discrimination and Employment Act and the American with Disabilities Act.
Memo for Boss To: Mr. Angel Law Firm Boss From: Attorney Clapper Date: May 4, 2014 Re: Memo addressing concerns of the client Dear Mr. Angel, I would like to address some of the concerns for our current client in hopes that this will help ease her worries. I understand that she is the current victim of a sexual assault but she did not report what had happened to the police.

I do feel that the client does need to know her rights and deserves to have justice. I have conducted some research for her that I am in hopes she will find informational and helpful to her.
There is legislation in place to enforce equality and protect people from inequality; this is the Equality Act 2010 which replaced the Equality Act 2006. The Equality Act 2006, which received Royal Assent on 16th February 2006, had three main purposes; • To establish the Commission for Equality and Human Rights (CEHR) • To make discrimination unlawful on the grounds of religion or belief in the provision of goods, facilities and services, the disposal and management of premises, education and the exercise of public functions • To create a duty on the public authorities to promote equality of opportunity between men and women, and to prohibit sex discrimination in the exercise of public functions. The Primary purpose of the Equality Act 2010, which came into force on 1st October 2010, is to protect a wide
Along with the hiring problems, the corporation also has a problem with promotions. It appears that the company only promotes based on convenience. The report that Pamela Gillis had made indicated that the company “look[ed] like a stone wall for women and minority professionals.” The case study also points out a particular event where a young woman with an accounting degree was hired in and almost forced to be a data entry clerk. The reasoning for this was because the company’s application for new hire form was discriminatory towards applicants with higher education. Pamela had appeared to do trend analysis in her report showing that there was a three year turnover rate among female and black employees.
Affirmative Action Laws: Are They Fair? PHI 103 Dr. LaCasta-Revell June 4, 2010 Affirmative Action Laws: Are They Fair? In an ideal society, race and gender should not be used as the determining factors when considering admission to universities, hiring, or government contracts, but racism and oppression have frequently described the minority experience in the United States. Affirmative action recognizes that in order to put an end to racist practices, race must be taken into account. Affirmative action policies attempt to counterbalance discrimination against women and minorities in employment and education, and give disadvantaged minorities a boost.
I will also evaluate the changing relationship between feminism and patriarchy, illustrating how this is mirrored in contemporary society. Sociologists make clear distinctions between sex and gender, stating that sex is biologically assigned, while gender is culturally learned. However, the dictionary definition of femininity is the trait of behaving in ways considered typical of a women, for example; delicacy, submissiveness, nurturing and prettiness. The dictionary definition of masculinity is characterised by traits which include; independence, confidence, assertiveness and competiveness.

In reality this generalized version of the study is misleading. When broken down by race, compared to a white man’s dollar; white women make 77 cents per dollar, black women, 69 cents and Latina women, 57 cents. In addition, the information in the campaign did not account for type of job, amount of hours, level of education nor the possibility that some women may not need or do not want to work. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in an effort to abolish wage discrimination based on gender. In 1963, women were earning an average of 59 cents on the dollar compared to men.
