About this Course

Government agencies play an important role in establishing and enforcing laws that protect employees, employers, and the public. This course explores the purpose and types of federal regulations that affect the workplace, including laws designed to promote safety, fairness, equal opportunity, wage protection, and employee rights. Participants will learn why workplace regulations exist, how they are developed and enforced, and the impact they have on organizational operations and employment practices. The course also examines laws enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), including regulations that prohibit workplace discrimination and promote equal employment opportunity. Learners will gain an understanding of protected characteristics, employer responsibilities, employee rights, and the role of the EEOC in investigating and addressing workplace discrimination complaints. In addition, the course discusses workplace laws enforced by agencies other than the EEOC. Topics include regulations related to workplace safety, wages and hours, employee benefits, labor relations, and other areas of employment compliance. By the end of the course, participants will have a stronger understanding of governmental involvement in the workplace, the purpose of federal regulations, and the responsibilities organizations have in complying with employment laws and regulations. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State ​Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
