10

Employment Legislation, 2017). HR managers should ensure employees are classified
appropriately for their job duties. This will help them in enhancing their performance.
 Anti-Discrimination Laws: This should be considered very carefully by the organization
in order to respect their employees who are working with them in the organization. Civil
Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination against employees on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin (.Shuck and Wollard, 2010). As per this law or act, it is
illegal to treat any individual badly in the organization. This has to be maintained

month period for various reasons, such as, some personal health issues, etc.
 Work Safety Act: It is very important for Morrison to take care of their employees as it
is essential for them in order to enhance their working performance effectively (.Barney,
Ketchen Jr and Wright, 2011). According to Work Safety Act 1974, it is essential to

this site is to raise awareness of the range of health and safety legislation that applies to
