Anti Discrimination Laws

Coffee Cubed is required to follow both the ADA and ADEA. We are not required to follow Title VII because our firm is limited to just 10 employees and Title VII needs us to have at least 15 employees to require us to follow that law. We are also considered independent contracts, which means that we don't have to follow Title VII because it only applies to governments, colleges, universities, employment agencies, and labor organizations, etc. In the state of New York, they have a similar law to Title VII. So although we are not required to follow Title VII, we are required to follow the New York Human Rights Law. I will make sure my business complies with all the applicable laws by training my entire staff to look out for the types of behavior stated in these laws in the workplace. In addition, my hiring team will be required to have to take a course to go over all of these laws to ensure that when we are hiring new employees we are not breaking those laws
