Fran Jefferson supervised the Training Department of Metro Bank. One of her star employees, Judy Martin, surprised Fran one day with a job posting application. Judy wanted to transfer to another department where the employees made more money (in higher evaluated jobs) and supposedly did less work. In the ensuing discusion, Fran leanred that Judy was very unhappy with the merit increase she had recently received. Judy believed she could earn more money in the open position, which was three grades higher that the position she currently occupied. Judy now functioned more as an administrative assisstant than as the departmental secretary (the position for which she had been hired). Fran knew that the job evaluation in use was valid and up-to-date, and that grade differences between Judy’s job and the open position meant real differences in responsibility, skill, and accountability. Fran did not want to lose Judy. CASE QUESTIONS: How should Fran respond to Judy’s request to transfer? How…

A bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) permits employers to use religion, age, sex, or national origin as a factor in their employment practices when it is reasonable necessary to the normal operation of that particular business under its business model (as long as it is legal). Think of the food-chain Hooters not having to hire male wait-staff or of a church or synagogue or mosque being able to hire only practitioners of its particular religious beliefs into key positions. A business necessity, on the other hand, comes into play when an employer has a job specification that is neutral (meaning it does not call for one particular sex as a requirement) but excludes members of one sex at a higher rate than members of the other. Think of a job with the requirement to lift heavy weights repeatedly throughout the work day and how it would likely exclude women at a higher rate or how nursing has traditionally attracted more female practitioners than males to the profession (for…

How do I respond to this in 100 words? An employer needs to document the reasoning behind any employment decisions to protect itself from any type of legal repercussions and ensure it is following labor laws. Labor laws are a guide for defining the legal rights and responsibilities of all parties in the labor process (Holley et al.,2017). For example, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned discrimination based on gender, race, color, religion, sex, and national origin (Clarkin, 2022). If an employer fails to properly document the termination of an employee due to poor performance, the employee may feel the firm has discriminated against them based on any of the previously stated reasons. This could cause the employer to face legal repercussions and have no way to support the reasoning without proper documentation. Documentation is also important to support salary decisions,'' raise decisions, and outline the company's responsibilities. Salary documentation can support why an employee…

How to respond to this in 100 words?  According to Meyer (2014), a labor union is an organization dedicated to representing the interests of workers in a particular industry or group of industries. Since the emergence of labor unions in the 1700s these entities have been influential in advocating for and protecting employees. Labor unions have many roles and responsibilities. One must understand that once employees vote to unionize, the labor union serves as their official representative. On behalf of the unionized employees, the labor union collectively bargains or attempts to negotiate a new labor contract with employers (Holley et al., 2017). The labor union sheds light on and resolves issues that cause conflict between employees and the employer such as wages, workplace safety, and employee benefits. The functions and responsibilities of the labor union are undoubtedly vital to those that choose to unionize.             It is no secret that there are many different opinions on…

How do I respond to this in 100 words? Mujtaba (2010; as cited in Muffler et al., 2010) states that disparate treatment involves an employer who intentionally treats applicants or employees less favorably than others based on one of the protected classes of color, race, sex, religion, or national origin. It is the core constitutional violation against which the U.S. Equal Protection Clause guards (Hellman, 2024, pg. 206). In light of disparate treatment cases, employers should be sure to document their reasoning for their employment decisions for a variety of reasons. One reason being to maintain legal compliance. There are laws in place that protect employees from employment discrimination, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and Executive Orders 11246 and 11375 (Holley et al., 2017). Employers could face serious legal implications if an employee or candidate files a claim against them for discriminatory actions and their employment…

Employee policies are essential frameworks established by organizations to govern the conduct, rights, and responsibilities of their employees within the workplace. These policies encompass a wide range of areas, including but not limited to, employee behavior, work hours, compensation, benefits, health and safety regulations, equal employment opportunities, performance evaluations, disciplinary procedures, and termination protocols. By outlining these guidelines, employers aim to create a transparent, fair, and productive work environment while also ensuring compliance with legal requirements and industry standards. Effective employee policies not only provide clarity and consistency but also serve as a tool for aligning organizational goals with individual employee objectives. They help foster a positive corporate culture by promoting accountability, professionalism, and mutual respect among employees. Moreover, well-defined policies contribute to risk management by mitigating…
