1) Determine whether or not the employee has a potential FLSA claim: After listening to the lectures tutorial, Mr. Murphy does not have a valid FLSA claim in one of the circumstances. On the other hand I do believe he does have a valid FLSA claim in one of the other circumstances. 2) Explain the legal basis for your conclusion: For example Mr. Mike Murphy is complaining to his manager that he should get paid for the time that he expends on his own time doing physical training to be in shape because he is in the SWAT team and is a very physically demanding job. The reason that he does not qualify is because the employee in not on waiting time when he is doing his exercise. Based on the lecture the only time to can claim working time is when you are in a waiting status, and the employee cannot do anything personal for this reason.
This will cause a lack of consistency in teaching from the management side and discipline of the employee in balancing both clients and management. Every district manager might not have the same goals for each salesman. District managers may have different expectations on how the salesman should perform during a sales call. This could be why each manager had different records of Marsh’s performance written down in the reports. When Marsh started working with Ted Franklin, it made a negative impact on his attitude towards his career.
First, if the employee is required to remain on the employer's property, it will constitute employee compensation. This is because the employee's free time is limited while the employee waits to perform work. Second, if the employee is not mandated to remain at work, but their free time is restricted due to on-call restraints, it can require compensation. In Mr. Murphy's case, his freedom while on-call is limited in order to perform SWAT duties if needed. Since Mr. Murphy cannot spend his free time any way he wants, it should be compensated under FLSA regulations.
Gary was pushed into forging data by his boss and then himself forged data to save his nose in order to meet the technical scope of the project. He lost track of the project’s progress because he had hard time balancing his administrative duties and his technical duties. Due to his lack of communication with his team, Gary wasted time and money in order to meet the milestones. He also could have negotiated a more beneficial contract. Gary had communication, administrative, human resource and leadership problems that, in the end, cost him his position as a project manager.
These cuts the company has to make resulted in employee dissatisfaction. The cabin crew staff has been addressing their demands through these strikes several times. This could means that employees and management do not have strong relationships. The “Front face” of BA is heavily unionised. Thus resulting in employees being unsatisfied with the management of the business which later could impact the businesses relationship with its stakeholder through the recession, however this strategy in the long run could result in employees not losing their jobs as BA are benchmarking their competition who significantly seceding in the recession without tarnishing its relationship with its employees.
There is an emphasis on factual and numerical reporting on which we make decisions about how our company will be run. This is a seriously flawed method of management in that there is a complete lack of thought to the psychological impact of their decisions and management of the organization. The lack of empathy is palatable in the room during these meetings. My failure to elicit empathy for others and myself in the group creates a huge challenge for me. In order to more effectively contribute to the organization, I would like to spend some time researching techniques to connect on an emotional level with the team.
The implied duty of fidelity protects business interests and imposes a obligation employee must not disclose any information or trade secrets of their employers business. Throughout the course of employment, an employer will obtain information, which may possibly be confidential information. If an employee’s position is highly ranked then there will be possibilities that the employer has acquired potential confidential business information that may be disclosed this type of situation will need to be addressed and employers will need protection. In Thomas v Farr plc. , the categories of information was sectioned out to address what type of information is not to be disclosed when the employment contract has ended.
He doesn’t think that his staff is offering and contributing to their job as much as he does. As a brand manager of a group whose job is heavily involved with creativity, flexibility and thinking out of box, Simon’s management has created a punitive and mistrust atmosphere that prevents his staff from sharing their points of view and challenging new ideas just like Simon did when he was an assistant. Also, this downfall of his management style will eventually lead to lower job satisfaction rate of his staff. The pro of his style is that he catches the flaws at early stage, which is also a very valuable skill and can save company time and money. Simon’s personality type is a combination of Obsessive-Compulsive and Narcissistic Personality.
The integral part of the problem was also identified in poor differentiation of “non-sell” and “selling” time. The company also used sales per hour ratio as the leading factor in performance evaluation and work compensation. This performance indicator was not properly balanced by other factors, such as customer satisfaction, in actual work compensation. My suggestions for designing a motivation program for Nordstrom would include a system to reward the employees for the work they do and not hurt them for time spent in meetings and shelving. They should set up a system that encourages the employees to “go the extra mile” without penalizing them on their hours.
During shift reports and company meetings, these things are discussed, but with a lack of caring, it was a lose-lose situation. I’ve witnessed that if they can fit in with the residents, it would make the job easier for them. They are more than likely to get by with just about anything without the resident going back and reporting it to management. You become careless to your job duties; and that’s exactly what happened with
