Employment-At-Will Doctrine Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving labor and laws. As it is stated in a given scenario, Jennifer took a day off to observe a religious holiday with no manager consent during “tax reason” while being informed that she was not permitted without management agreement. This can be a basis for taking disciplinary actions against her. There was a chance that if she had spoken to management about her concern of taking day off for religious observance, she could get permission to take this day off. Being Jennifer’s supervisor, I would consider speaking to her about policies and procedures for time off, reminding her that there are times during a year such as “tax season” which is extremely busy, requiring previous arrangements for taking days off.

From 1992 to January 1, 2001, the number of inmates age 50 and older jumped from 41, 586 to 113,358 (Camp & Camp, 1992 – 2001). The aging inmate population in the United States’ federal and state prisons is creating a heavy burden on government resources and budgets. This paper examines the burden created by such a population and the reasons causing a growth in elderly inmate populations. Also, this paper offers possible solutions, including creating geriatric prisons, early release for elderly inmates, and a restructuring of mandatory minimum sentences.

Everyone else may have to wait quite a while before being seen. In fact, the average wait for emergency treatment nationwide is about two hours. Demand for ED visits is on the rise and EDs are becoming overcrowded largely due to reduced inpatient capacity and impaired patient flow. The Institute of Medicine reports that American ED visits grew more than twice as fast as population between 1993 and 2003, and that 60% of hospitals operated at or over capacity in 2001. Several factors likely contribute to the rise in ED use, such as the increase in elderly and chronically ill Americans, overworked or lack of primary care
The project would shut down the production for 45 days while the renovations are implemented. The price of polypropylene is GBP675 per ton. The tax rate required for this analysis is 30%. New assets can be depreciated over 15 years on an accelerated basis. Due to the increased production the work-in-process inventory (WIP-inventory) would need to increase by 3.0% of cost of goods.

Capital expenditure of $155,000 was incurred during last 2 years. Increase in invested capital reduced both IGR and SGR. As sales growth rate was higher than IGR and SGR, firm had to rely on trade credits and trade notes, besides internal accruals and bank notes to finance its cash outflows. Projections for 1996 are based on information provided and other assumptions described in excel sheets viz. all trade notes will be fully paid and trade credit of 10 days is for additional purchases made from April 1, 1996.
In a pension system, such workers who have worked for 20-30 years become eligible to collect pension benefits on a monthly basis upon their retirement. These workers gradually pay into a pension fund as they work, however their future pension reward is typically greater than the value invested by the plan participant. The employer, and in certain cases state or local government, also contributes funding to the employee’s pension fund. Pension benefits are supposed to be collected if and only if the worker has retired, yet there exists numerous cases of abuse of the pension system nationwide. Various workers (such as Police Officers) have been known to serve long enough to become eligible for a pension, quit their job, and then begin working elsewhere while simultaneously reaping the rewards of their pension plan.

Jerry estimated that he needed $40,000/month during the “bathtub” period to support and maintain his key people. Fortunately, the bathtub period fell over the holiday season when the plant is shut down for 17 days and employees typically take time off. He revised his estimate to $125,000 for the entire bathtub period (approximately $36,215/month). With this estimate in mind, Jerry told the team members to “tighten their belts” for the remainder of the Scott Project in order to establish a $125,000 management reserve. The team understood.
