ALL PARTS ON SEPARATE DOCUMENTS PART 1 In this assessment, you have been tasked as the HR generalist to train new managers on the background to employment analysis. Write a 3–4 page overview based on best practices and approaches for either “Sweet Delights Bakery” or an organization of your choice. In your paper: Describe the different categories of employees (full- and part-time employees, independent contractors, temporary employees, interns, students, volunteers, and partners). Select two main roles in your organization and explain how you determined the employment status of each position. Simply labeling an employee as full time or a contractor does not determine status. Discuss the practices the company should avoid when employing contractors. Analyze two types of protected classes under federal antidiscrimination statutes. Why are these liabilities for the company? Consider neutral requirements or practices in recruitment. Why are these a risk for the company? Be sure to communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the HR profession. Standard formatting: Include one-inch margins, appropriate headers, and a title page. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting. Review the Evidence and APA section of the Writing Center for guidance. Length: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding title page and reference page. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. PART 2 Preparing for recruitment involves several mandatory steps to prevent liabilities to the agency. This includes considering recruitment methods, screening exams, and background checks. However, it is important to understand the legalities of these processes. Their use can violate antidiscrimination laws if an employer uses them to discriminate based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or age (40 or older). Unless the employer can justify the test or procedure under the law, the use of these tests can also violate antidiscrimination laws if they disproportionately exclude people in a particular protected group. For this assessment, as the HR director of “For The People IT Design Center” or your selected organization, prepare the hiring manager to recruit for a position of your choice. In a 3–4 page paper: Compare the different types of recruitment methods. Select one to use in your company and describe why this is your chosen method. Compare two different employment screening exams required for job-relatedness and business necessity. How will you show evidence of job relatedness (validity) for each test? What is the purpose of content validity tests? Analyze the legalities of the employment screening exams used during the hiring process. Discuss the policies and practices that should be in place for internal candidates applying for the position. Describe inadvisable preemployment inquiries as you are preparing for the interview phase. Explain how these could lead to hiring liabilities and what policies you will have in place to avoid any perceived risks. Describe what should be included in the offer to the selectee. Describe your documentation process and explain how long documents should be retained. Standard formatting: Include one-inch margins, appropriate headers, and a title page. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting. Review the Evidence and APA section of the Writing Center for guidance. Length: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding title page and reference page. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. PART 3 For this assessment, as the new owner of the “Aqua Irrigation Force” or your selected organization, you will need to develop the compensation and benefits plan for your potential new hires. As a franchise, you have just opened your company in a residential area and need to hire new workers. You will need to consider the location and the size of the company to complete this task. In a 3–4 page paper: Select a position and determine the roles and responsibilities that are required. Explain the law that regulates paying minimum wage and overtime pay, considering that determining an employee’s salary is a significant factor for any position. Explain the law that regulates paying minimum wage and overtime pay. Address the following in your analysis: What is the minimum wage in your community where the Aqua Irrigation Force, or your selected company, is located? What is the requirement for the employer regarding pay when employees need to work more than 40 hours in a week? Describe the benefits that a company has to provide to an employee. Explain the duties of a fiduciary and the role this plays in your company. Discuss the requirements for companies that offer pension plans. Describe wellness plans. What should they offer and what benefits do they provide to both companies and employees? Standard formatting: Include one-inch margins, appropriate headers, and a title page. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting. Review the Evidence and APA section of the Writing Center for guidance. Length: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding title page and reference page. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. PART 4 In this assessment, you will review the employment laws considered for each of the topics presented in this course. Termination is never easy for anyone involved, but at times is necessary for the efficiency of the company. In this scenario, as an HR generalist, you have been tasked with preparing a manager with the necessary documents required to terminate an employee. Consider the following scenario: Sam has been an employee with the agency for almost a year. He is often late for his shift and his work products are less than stellar. He often gets into verbal arguments with coworkers and has been warned several times about his conduct. The manager now informs you that while in his office he heard a loud bang. He went to investigate only to realize that Sam had smashed his computer on the floor because he could not get an application to work. The manager felt that Sam has violated company conduct policies and wants to terminate him. In a 3–4 page paper: Describe constructive discharge. How does this differ from wrongful termination? Analyze the policy and procedure used in the event of an employee termination. Describe the elements of due process and just cause. Do you feel that all employers should meet these standards before terminations can take place? Explain whether the employment-at-will with exceptions standard provide sufficient protection for employees. Explain the process to ensure employees’ rights are not violated. Discuss the steps the manager should follow after a termination decision has been made, and how the termination should be handled. Standard formatting: Include one-inch margins, appropriate headers, and a title page. APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting. Review the Evidence and APA section of the Writing Center for guidance. References: A minimum of three scholarly references.
