workplace requirements

Although most of the display terminal workplace requirements are already in effect at Newsday, last year the newspaper hired a lobbyist to express its opposition to the bill.

The Menlo Park, California-based company offers "software and services to help enterprises implement agile business architectures which adapt to meet changing workplace requirements."

Both the public accommodation and workplace requirements provide exemptions, for example, if structural or operational changes would be unreasonable or would present an undue hardship for companies.

"The whole bling-bling thing has left," Mr. Moore said, a change attributable perhaps to general shifts in taste and just as inevitably to workplace requirements that have seen employers seek to distance themselves from casual attire.

Most multinationals and many newer companies, like MindTree Consulting, a three-year-old software services company based in Bangalore, have already put in place in all offices grievance mechanisms that comply with United States workplace requirements.
