Question

What new HR related federal legislation or enhancements of current legislation do you foresee being discussed
and potentially implemented over the next ten years? Explain why you think this.

Answer 1

Answer: Few of the new HR related federal legislation which is possibly enforced over ten years is likely to be more focus on occupational health and proving medical insurance which is sufficient without any limitation and the entire cost of treatment during the employment and after retirement has to be borne by employer where the employee was last employed. A more uniform treatment for government and private sector employees will come in place.

Equal pay for work, which is of equal value, there may be further enhancement of equal opportunity for job along with more clarity on how the compensation should be decided and it will have more clarity on the same. The possibility of differential compensation based on nationality, gender and race will be further eliminated.

Other area where new legislation or enhancement may come in terms of recruitment and privacy related, there will be more impetus on maintaining the privacy of employees and more information may be asked[II(1] from employees while recruitment like medical history or family background etc.

Therefor, the above are few areas where possibility we can see a new legislation coming up in next ten years or the current legislation is being enhanced with more control over it.
