The complexity of discrimination laws -- and the tremendous ramifications of falling
afoul of them -- requires employers and public officials to seek out resources for learning more about the impact
that these laws have on their current and future practices. Consulting a book, such as the ones avaiable for sale
below, can avoid the spectre of a costly discrimination lawsuit.
Discrimination, fundamentally, is defined as making a decision based on the inclusion of an individual in a
protected class. While race or sex are the most notable of these classes, employers often forget that disability,
pregnancy and family status are also included in this list. Basing a hiring decision or a promotion on protected
class status rather than merit is a violation of these laws.
