Legal guidelines that shows that the company should keep in mind when hiring/selecting employees in fitness sector and why you choose that Legal guidelines/issues include- Legal issues in hiring At every stage of the hiring process, employers must be careful not to illegally discriminate against applicants for the position. Since discrimination is prohibited on the basis of race, gender, national origin, age, religion, and disability – and by now most job applicants know that – any indication of bias in the hiring process might lead to serious legal repercussions. For example, even a seemingly innocuous question during the interviewing stage such as “when did you graduate from high school?” can potentially lead to a lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Employers and personnel in charge of interviewing also should be aware that, even though Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents hiring men over women or vice versa, it doesn’t cover discrimination based on marital status or sexual orientation. Some state legislatures have guaranteed protection against discrimination of this kind and federal legislation has been proposed as well.
