Every selection process has to go through some legal guidelines. This guideline plays a
crucial part and affects the selection process hugely. These set of guidelines are made so that
the rights of a worker can be protected and the worker can't face biases or harassment in the
workplace. London nursing Home follows the guidelines set by the United Kingdom as these
guidelines are made by the local government of the country where the organization is
established. For making the procedure of selection and recruitment of the candidates fair for
everyone, different kind of rules and regulations are laid down by the government.
Employment policy and legislation employment act 2002 includes all the rights for workers
that follow in the London nursing home like regulations for dispute at the workplace, equal
rights for payment, guidelines for leaves, policies for employment is considered as one of the
crucial legal policy for organizations in the UK. These rights influence recruitment like the
selected employee feel flexible environment in the workplace and also know right there
rights. These rights attract the recruitment by the organization legal policies and rights.
The act of 2004 demand that all the employees of the health care department must get equal
opportunity in the field of training, skill development, working hours and leaves. In the
organization that influences the recruitment and the working staff because by the right they
get equal opportunities and rights.
Equality Act of 2010 include terms like making all the employees equal irrespective of their
age, gender, race, creed, faith, sexual orientation, and inabilities.The direct, indirect and
victimization in the workplace is protected by the sex discriminationact of 1975. By these
actions, the employee gets equal rights without judging their gender these guidelines help to
take action if they need if they see something wrong with them and other also. The act that
makes the workers get equal payments for irrespective of sex and post is included in the
Equal pay act. In the past year's many acts have been developed like Disability discrimination
act 1995, Race discrimination act 1992 and Data Protection Act 1998 which protects the
rights of the workers while managing to keep the workplace ethical. These acts are very
crucial for an organization in every sector so that all workers can work in harmony and can
