Luka Rousseau 09/11/2010 Case R.B. v. CHASM To the knowledge of the parents, considering the Charter they had the right to refuse the blood transfusion. Stated in the Charter, section - (legal right) #2 a. states that one is allowed to freedom of conscience and religion as well as section - (legal right) #2 b. freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. When the blood transfusion was made those two basic rights were violated. The two parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses and in their religion states that you shall not have blood of another.
The employee must also have worked for at least 12 months and 1250 hours during the 12 months. Under FMLA, the bill allows an unpaid, job-protected leave for up to 12 weeks in a year to care for a new child, an adopted child, or a child in foster care. The employee can also take a leave to care for an ill family member or to recover from their own serious illness. They can also use this to care for an injured service member in the family or to address issues of a family member’s deployment. The employee on leave will be allowed to have the same health insurance they had as if they weren’t on leave.
Prolia Osteoporosis is diagnosed by BMD—bone mineral density test, the primary BMD test was dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); a BMD test costs $50 per patient. Amgen priced Prolia at $825 per injection, or $1,650 per year. There is a total of 30.7 million people in the U.S. with osteoporosis or osteopenia, and 15.5 million (49%) were diagnosed, only a portion of that group received treatment. 40% of patients receiving treatment continued to see declining BMD levels, and 5% had fractures. Aside from treatment options of exercise and dietary supplements, bisphosphonates are the main class of drugs for the treatment of osteopenia and osteoporosis in early 2011, made from two phosphonic groups.
It should be of no difference whether or not the biological parent and the child were close or not. They are family so if the child feels an obligation to care for the parent that is all that should matter. The parent is ill and is in need and that is the only family member available to care for the parent. Their personal family history or how close they were is of no business of the company and should not be a deciding factor in whether or not the employee is eligible of the Family and Medical Leave Act. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act a parent is considered legitimate grounds for taking a leave of absence.
Flextime is a widely accepted and practiced way of balancing work and life. Flextime allows employees to pick their hours they work, within set parameters (Robbins & DeCenzo 2005). Flextime allows employees an option to balance their needs with their job. Allowing a parent flexible hours to drop off children, pick up children or attend events, will help parents to focus on their job. It will help alleviate the guilt that parents feel when trying to cover both work and home responsibilities.
There is a lot of controversy over the uses of PGD, and it has been banned in several countries because some people believe it is unethical and “playing god.” PGD does not genetically alter embryos in any way. It simply tests the embryos for a genetic disease and then with the results, a healthy embryo is implanted and the rest are donated to research, or destroyed. In no way is it creating or changing anyone. The healthy embryo that is implanted is still one of the parent’s children. The parents simply chose not to develop their other unhealthy embryos.
In addition, it can assist those people by providing monthly financial assistance, for example. Another example, some governments provide loans to people in need for the establishment of small-scale projects, thus this loan is repayable in easy monthly installments. Therefore, the government must be able to create jobs and work hard to reduce unemployment. Finally, the government is responsible to create a positive atmosphere in a country. The government creates the values of a nation, so widespread poverty, unemployment and homelessness in communities.
The use of temporary workers helps the business to maintain staffing flexibility and reduces hiring costs. In my opinion, temporary workers are as important as regular employees and there should be laws assuring them access to the same or similar benefits. Even though it is often believed temporary employees do not want to devote their time and loyalty to any employer and that is why should not get basic benefits such as health insurance or retirement benefits, it seems to me that temporary workers play a significant role to businesses in terms of lowering costs and should not be left on their own without any laws and regulations protecting their privileges. same provisions, employees may be appointed to subsequent temporary appointments in different departments. Benefits for eligible temporary employees include the following: health and life insurance, sick and vacation leave, holiday pay, injury leave, civil leave, and military leave.
By adopting such tactic, Starbucks, in short term, may be able to gravitate a large bunch of employees who are having some financial problems for time being. Secondly, when we talk about employee’s loyalty, money cannot buy it. Though money is an important element yet it is significant only to gain a comfortable level of living. Once that level is achieved it becomes of secondary importance for employees. Sometimes monetary benefits are not as imperative as the ‘Sense of Purpose’ and ‘Emotional Bondage’ workers have with their organizations.
In an article written by David Crary for the Huffington Post, “at least 178 countries have national laws guaranteeing paid leave for new mothers, while the handful of exceptions include the U.S., Swaziland and Papua New Guinea. More than 50 nations, including most Western countries, also guarantee paid leave for new fathers.” The United States Department of Labor reports that under the Family and Medical Leave Act that “employees are eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year” and that, “Employees are eligible for leave if they have worked for their employer at least 12 months, at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, and work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles.
