In light of the research discussed in this case, in your opinion, how should sexual harassment be punished? 2 .What laws relate most closely to sexual harassment? 3.What legal protection, if any, should exist to protect an innocent individual from false charges of sexual harassment? 4 .How might sexual harassment relate to bullying? 2-1 Describe the legal context of human resource management “The legal and regulatory environment of HRM in the United States emerges as a result of a three-step process. First is the actual creation of a new regulation. This regulation can come in the form of new laws or statutes passed by national, state, or local government bodies; however, most start at the national level. State and local regulations are more likely to extend or modify national regulations than create new ones.” (26) “The second step in the regulation process is the enforcement of these regulations. Occasionally, the laws themselves provide for enforcement through the creation of special agencies or other forms of regulatory groups.” “The third step in the regulation process is the actual practice and implementation of those regulations in organizations.”(27) 2-2 Identify key laws that prohibit discrimination in the workplace, and discuss equal employment opportunity “Various court decisions and basic inferences about the language of various laws suggest that illegal discrimination is the result of behaviors or actions by an organization or managers within an organization that cause members of a protected class to be unfairly differentiated from others.
