During school holiday periods, EDS also hires high school students (aged 14 and older) to assist in processing orders at its two national distribution centers. EDS does not allow the students to work more than 6 hours per day or more than 36 hours per week, and they may not work with the mechanical sorting equipment.

Renee, a scheduling manager for EDS, worked an average of 50 hours per week last year.
According to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, an employee who works more than the maximum of forty hours per weeks must be paid no less than 1.5 times his/her regular pay rate for all hours over forty (Hollowell & Miller, 2012). The FLSA takes concern in child labor laws, minimum wages, and overtime provisions. Overtime is usually referred to as “time and a half”, which means you are paid one and a half times the hourly rate for each hour worked over the forty hour limit. In this case, I only achieved more than forty hours for the first two weeks. Since I am a non-exempt employee, I have to be paid minimum wage: $7.25 as of July 24, 2009 (Hollowell & Miller, 2012).

Reverse discrimination is defined as laws and policies which deny certain opportunities, jobs, employment, contracts, and educational admissions to “whites” in favor of other, government-defined “disadvantaged” racial groups. Sometimes these policies and laws are collectively, if historically inaccurately, referred to as “Affirmative Action” (www.adversity.net). Racial discrimination in any way is not acceptable. The government has created a form of discrimination to combat previous discrimination; this is not even a levelheaded thought, programs and or laws supporting it such as Affirmative Action are immoral and should be abolished.
Direct could be when a less qualified man could not be given a job over a more qualified woman whereas indirect discrimination is where a job has requirements that only one sex can fulfil. For example a job requirement might be for an applicant to be six feet tall. This is indirectly discriminating against women because very few are this tall. RACE RELATIONS ACT 1992: This act outlines laws that are in place to protect employees and job applicants against discrimination based on their race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin or nation origin.

Working 9 hours a day for one week (5 days) and 9 hours for four days the following week. The time off will allow employees to take care of personal business during that day, to help reduce people taking random days off and calling in.
