In video two, common pitfalls that get employers into legal trouble in the area of employment discrimination are highlighted. Employers take advantage of young employees, but, fortunately, the latter have become more aware of their rights influencing them to seek legal support. Another pitfall is the loose culture, common for small firms, which lacks a human resource department that understands the employee rights. Similarly, employers who retaliate against employees who question some wrongdoings in the organization risk lawsuits. The failure to respond to the complaints like harassment, as reported by the employees, can invite legal trouble in the organization. Some employers fail to safeguard the premises, and any security crisis will call for legal action. Finally, treating employees differently in terms of race, color, gender, credit history, appearance, for instance obesity, national origin, and maternity can invite legal trouble.
