Details

Age Discrimination: Mitigating Risk in the Workplace, discussing age discrimination in the workplace. Not only is the issue topical at the moment with numerous studies and extensive discussion on the issue of an aging population, but in June 2004 the federal government passed a landmark piece of legislation, namely, the Age Discrimination Act 2004. The legislation means that there will be an enforceable remedy in federal law for people who suffer discrimination on the basis of their age.

The book informs Business and HR managers about the issues involved, enabling them to establish workplace practices that mitigate risk. The book is largely legislation based, focusing on the new federal legislation and existing state legislation in each jurisdiction.

This book provides a centralized resource enabling practitioners (HR managers, CEOs and legal) and academics to quickly access the impact of the new legislation. It enables businesses to establish appropriate workplace practices and mitigate the risk of costly litigation.
