What are the implications of ignoring staffing laws such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986?

Solution

Age discrimination Act of 1967 forbids employment discrimination against employees who are forty years of age or older.

Under this Act, there should not be any disparate treatment towards employees who are older. Employers cannot remove older employees andreplace them with younger employees without providing correct and legal reason. Some workplaces have exemptions. Employers found inviolation to this Act will have to face criminal or civil actions.

The Immigration reform and Control Act of 1986 makes it illegal for an employer to discriminatewith respect to hiring, firing or recruitment or referral for a fee, based upon an individual\'s citizenship or immigration status.

Any employer who knowingly or unknowingly hires unauthorized aliens have to face the criminal and civil sanctions under the Immigration reform and Control Act. It is also unlawful to hire anyone unless the person\'s employment authorization and identity are verified. Ilegal aliens also do not get federal welfare benefits.
