Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course explores potential legal issues and pitfalls that might impact the hospitality industry. The course covers legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and other federal discrimination laws dealing with employment and sexual harassment; Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; The Americans with Disabilities Act; the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990; antitrust regulations; the National Labor Relations Act; copyright music laws; tax laws; tip reporting regulations; telephone resale regulations; consumer protection laws; franchise regulations; and product liability laws. This course is not intended to make the student a legal expert on the subject reviewed nor is it intended to be a substitute for the services or legal opinion of an attorney. Students will, however, be better able to recognize potential legal problems or potential lawsuits, which will assist them when consulting with an attorney on strategies to prevent legal issues from becoming more serious in their hospitality organization. This course may be offered in a distance education format. (CSU transferable)
