Identify the situations and issues discussed in the case studies.
To address some of the issues that arise in the hectic lives of professionals, Sarah Winters
founded her personal help company, Personal You, in 1997. According to Hall (2009), the term
"personal" encompasses services like food delivery, housekeeping, childcare, and even manual
labour.
The department manager in this situation informs HR Director Alyssa Williams and Human
Resources Manager Gary Garcia that background checks are necessary for all workers, which
raises the first worry. A second issue was discovered by branch manager Violet Jennings, a
former Jackson Tibbits employee who was listed on Florida's sex offender register (Hall, 2009).
Jennings, Garcia, and I must decide whether to throw Jackson's case out based on the most recent
information.
Analysis of the situation
I have been the director of human resources at your Tampa, Florida-based company, Personal
Inc., for more than seven years. Although the company handles some HR-related concerns, such
salaries, top management takes the initiative and defers to judgement when it comes to internal
HR affairs.
The branch and corporate offices now follow the same recruitment process. Each applicant
completes a standard application, provides supporting documentation, is subject to a background
investigation, and has their employer references and criminal histories checked (Franke et al.,
2012). When it originally began, though, this was not the case, and many high-ranking
employees never passed a background check. The fact that employees deal with children,
parents, and vulnerable individuals when working in customers' homes makes this challenge
even more challenging.
Be aware of issues that could lead to legal problems.
The current court dispute might be the first to mandate background checks for all new and
current employees because long-term employees may face discrimination when terminated.
However, failure to adhere to this approach could result in legal problems for the company, such
as Jackson Tibbits-style lawsuits or customer complaints (Sarokin, 2020).
Choose the right HR plan.
We need to set up a system for that, and at the recommendation of the department head, the
personnel chief and I will review all employee ID cards as a first step. Gary, Violet, and I were
forced to see Jackson Tibbits the witch's second act based on the information given. Jackson is
free to continue not working outside of school or in a position requiring interaction with weak
people because, should the company fire Jackson, it will be accused of discrimination by HR
(US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, n.d.). I appreciate your presentation. You
stressed the significance of managers treating staff members properly and consistently. Fair
treatment at work is defined as equity and justice in relation to monetary remuneration, benefits,
allowances for disabilities, vacation time, and paid time off. To know if you are being treated
unfairly, every employee needs to understand what constitutes fair treatment.
