[Verse 1]
When you hire, fire, or promote today
Federal laws chart the proper way
Title Seven guards the workplace door
Race, religion, sex, and so much more
Color, origin - five shields that stand
Age forty-plus gets protection's hand
[Chorus]
Seven laws for discrimination fights
ADA opens accessibility lights
FLSA sets the wage and hour game
FMLA gives leave without the shame
Know your framework, know it well
Federal employment's story to tell
[Verse 2]
Pregnancy gets its special act
Genetic info stays intact
GINA blocks DNA abuse
Equal Pay cuts wage excuse
Executive order, contractors must
Show affirmative action's trust
[Chorus]
Seven laws for discrimination fights
ADA opens accessibility lights
FLSA sets the wage and hour game
FMLA gives leave without the shame
Know your framework, know it well
Federal employment's story to tell
[Verse 3]
Minimum wage and overtime rules
Exempt, non-exempt - different tools
Davis-Bacon when the feds contract
Service workers get wage pact
Tips and pooling, child labor too
State laws often exceed what's due
[Bridge]
OSHA keeps the workplace safe and sound
I-Nine forms for all you've found
NLRA protects the worker's voice
Even non-union gets this choice
Privacy laws and records straight
Medical secrets seal their fate
[Verse 4]
USERRA shields the military crew
Reasonable accommodation's due
Interactive process, step by step
Religious beliefs we must accept
Worker's comp in every state
Violence prevention can't wait
[Outro]
From hiring hall to exit door
Federal framework gives you more
Anti-discrimination's might
Wages, leave, and safety's sight
Master these and you'll succeed
HR professional's basic creed
