He has created a hostile work environment from her claims. Sam has violated the sex discrimination laws by not allowing Paula to transfer. There are many things that protect her in this case against employment discrimination. Pregnancy Discrimination is one that is violated by Sam denying Paula to transfer. This act is an amendment of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
| Question #6 | Assume that Robert reported the problem to the NTSB and that he has applied for an accounting position with your company. The hiring decision is down to two candidates, Robert and Susan, both of whom are former employees of ABC. John, the person who will make the hiring decision, knows that Robert and Susan both knew of the problem and that Robert reported but Susan did not report. Robert and Susan are equivalent in all other respects. Who do you believe John will hire, Robert or Susan?
For example, Pat had criticized the distribution of school sports funds. He suggested that funds should be equally allocated among all student athletic programs, but not just be concentrated on the boy’s football and basketball programs. Although Pat was not identified as a NewCorp employee, he believed that this contributed not only to the unfriendliness of NewCorp senior management but also to the of NewCorp decision to discharge him. NewCorp’s senior management’s concern over his public display of his personal views as a basis for his termination judgment is erroneous.
Legal Encounter One The biggest liability issue that NewCorp will face with Pat is over a claim of wrongful discharge. This will be based on NewCorp’s personnel manual that states that employees will be placed on a corrective action plan to improve performance before termination. No correction plan was given to Pat by his boss before being discharged. Pat will also be able to argue that in receiving the NewCorp personnel manual, an implied contract of employment was agreed upon based on the policies contained in the manual. The fact that he was discharged shortly after the school board meeting in which he shared views contrary to those held by some of our senior management should have no basis on any legal proceedings.
However, it does not specify when to recognize or how to measure the items that make up comprehensive income. In reporting comprehensive income, companies are required to use a gross disclosure technique for classifications related to items of other comprehensive income other than minimum pension liability adjustments. For those classifications, reclassification adjustments must be disclosed separate from other changes in the balances of those items so that the total change is disclosed as two amounts.
During this time Nader conducted a study that recommended the federal government get more involved in promoting auto safety. In 1965, after leaving the labor department, Nader finished the book he started while working with the labor department. This book, entitled Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed –in Dangers of the American Automobile would fuel his consumer advocacy legacy. Unsafe at Any Speed attacked the Detroit auto industry for what Nader described as an emphasis on profits and style over safety. In February 1966, Nader delivered an indictment of the auto industry before Senator Ribicoff’s subcommittee.
In this instance it is clear SGT Cummings is being sexually harassed and SFC Brandt has created not only a hostile work environment, but has let it bleed over into public settings as well. SGT Cummings has already let her know person to person that he is not interested and yet she persists. Her degrading use of suggestive language coupled with unwanted sexual contact has crossed the line of harassment and is pushing the abuse into the category of sexual assault. I would explain to him that the average percentage of male enlisted soldiers that report sexual harassment and/or assault is higher than he thinks. The perceived stigma that males do not get harassed and no one would believe him should not deter him from the right to enjoy a positive
Boundary violations are always unethical and are likely to be illegal” (Ofer Zur, 2011). Unfortunately “problems with setting and maintaining boundaries are common issues dealt with in counseling” (LaCombe, 2007). As a professional Tom should have been conscience of the choices that he was making and the lines that he was crossing. If there was a personal attraction to the client Tom was obligated to notify a supervisor and have him removed from the
Newcorp Legal Encounters: In violation? Legal Encounter #1 Pat Grey started off on the wrong foot by expressing himself at a school board meeting. After the meeting management had been “noticeably unfriendly.” Although Pat has freedom of speech and simply expressed his opinion he must realize as an agent to Newcorp. The relationship is fiduciary in which the agent must act in the principal’s best interests (Jennings, 2006). Even though the principal is undisclosed the agent must possess a form of loyalty and his opinion may not have represented the company well.
This means that the behavior altered the terms, conditions, and/or reasonable expectations of a comfortable work environment for employees. Additionally, the behavior, actions or communications must be discriminatory in nature. A coworker who tells sexually explicit jokes and sends around images of nude people, is guilty of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. In conclusion I do think that Ms. Darcy has a case against Big Car Company due to the fact they let the harassment go on when she complained plenty of times. After she complained Mr. Clarance was suspend and Ms. Darcy was removed from that area to a lower paying job also it was stated that he would at least be 300 feet away from her and at the beginning it was like that then they moved her to 30 feet away from him.
