Human Resources Laws and Regulations

 

GCU AMP 434 Week 7 Discussion 1

Effective managers can successfully locate and apply relevant human resources laws and regulations. The United States Department of Labor website is an excellent source of reliable information.

Access the search box of the U.S. Department of Labor website located at www.dol.gov.

Choose three laws from the list below to research:

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA)

Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA)

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)

Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

Sarbanes-Oxley Act (See whistleblower protection provisions.)

For each of your three chosen laws, provide a bulleted list of five or six relevant facts that you believe have significance for line managers.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10-to-12-point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed types and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper is unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
