Active participation is a way of working that recognises an individual’s right to participate in the activities and relationships of everyday life as independently as possible. The individual is regarded as an active partner in their own care or support, rather than a passive recipient.

Managing risk is a way of working that supports individuals to exercise choices and rights, recognising the balance between managing and enabling independence, choice and control.
Moreover, respondents argue that the Ninth Circuit did not seek to evade Evans, as AT&T suggests. Hulteen distinguishes this case from Evans by noting that, although Evans was fired for a sex-related issue (thus giving rise to a mature disparate-treatment claim), her suit was not over her hiring but with regard to the resetting of her employment clock following rehiring. In Evans’ case, the company’s neutral seniority policy mandated the resetting of her employment clock, thus impacting Evans immediately; by contrast, Hulteen argues that the discriminatory impact of AT&T’s tallying of workdays was not immediately tangible. As further support, Hulteen also notes that, in Lorance,the Court has also noted that a seniority system which is facially discriminatory is challengeable at any time. Finally, respondents note that Ledbetter allows that there may be times when the assembling of the necessary elements that form to create the cause of action takes more than 180

During the medarb, each side will communicate the dispute and attempt to reach a voluntary agreement. The results of the mediation are not binding but rather presented in good faith and up to the disputing parties to follow.

If no proof is provided, under the minority view of The Specific Intent Test, it could be concluded that the company did not want the employee or any other employee to quit, but to abide by the new policy in order to keep up with the demand of the company’s growth. If the company’s working conditions are found by the court to be reasonable, the claim will fall short under both tests. With regards to the current claim against the company, the change in the work schedule policy affects all production employees. It was not the intent of the company to make the change to cause working conditions to be so unbearable that an employee would quit, therefore it is not constructive discharge. For the protected class of Religion, Title VII states that covered employers shall not treat employees differently based on religion, harass employees based on religion, deny reasonable accommodation requests, or retaliate against employees (EEOC, 2012).

ASSINGMENT 1 BUS 520 Argue for the use of Consensual Relationship Agreements (CRAs) in your current (or future) workplace. A Consensual Relationship Agreement (CRA) is essentially a written “contract” in which the romantically involved parties acknowledge the following: Their relationship is voluntary and consensual, they agree to abide by the employers antidiscrimination , anti-harassment, and workplace conduct policies, they promise to report any perceived harassment to management, if it occurs, they agree to behave professionally and not allow the relationship to affect their work performance, they agree to avoid behavior that offends others in the workplace and they agree to not engage in any favoritism (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). This is especially vital when one person is of higher ranking and has the authority to influence opportunities to other employees. A majority of companies do not have any policy in place. The dynamics of the workplace was jeopardized because several people dated romantically.
