The staffing process is highly regulated. Phillips and Gully deal extensively with legal issues in their text. Of particular importance is Chapter 3, The Legal Context.
There are various sources for these regulations. The basic civil rights are mandated by acts of Congress and the President. Enforcement of civil rights is centered on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor – Office of Contract Compliance Procedures, and state agencies. Additional clarification of laws and enforcement is provided by the court system.
In order to gain an understanding of court decisions that have clarified broad civil rights issues, the following landmark cases will be analyzed in this assignment:
