Mason
Tillman helps public and private entities understand and comply
with complex regulations and laws that support equal protection to
all Americans.
The
Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits age,
sex, and racial discrimination. Federal, state, and local
governments have created laws and regulations based on the Fourteenth
Amendment.
Without
understanding the ever-evolving laws, your business or
organization may suffer economic or social consequences. Mason
Tillman can help you comply and avoid costly fines, attorney's
fees and negative publicity.
For example, we can clarify organizations obligations under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees equal protection for all Americans. Federal, state, and local governments have codified the Fourteenth Amendment in legislation, regulations, and court actions. The most well-known federal law codifying equal opportunity is the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As the most comprehensive statute on civil rights ever enacted in the U.S., it prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
Public and private entities that receive contracts or revenue from the federal government are bound by
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements. Often controversial and dynamic, equal employment laws require careful and ongoing analysis to keep up with the evolving rules. Noncompliant businesses and agencies can face significant economic and social consequences: fines, attorneys fees, negative publicity, as well as the costs of bringing the organization into compliance.
Mason Tillman closely follows changes to the law in Congress and in the courtsto provide clients with compliance programs that work. We can identify the rules that apply to our clients, conduct employment studies based on quantitative and qualitative data, and provide clear guidelines for sound policy and procedures. Mason Tillman appreciates the need for legally defensible EEO programs. Therefore, we employ a talented team of attorneys, statisticians, and public policy professionals to perform our research and to provide client services.
