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.
A Most Undisciplined Profligate Crew Officers of the jersey brigade request several times for food supplies and clothing but nothing was sent. The officers had no choice but to manipulate the jersey assembly but they failed and some officers quit. For the next expedition, the officers once again requested for better pay and supplies too. George Washington was upset to hear about the officers; they were manipulating in giving up their jobs if the demands were not met. George Washington was worried that his will influence the rest of the military so they gave the officers better pay if they took back their petitions.
Company Q’s current mind-set on social responsibility appears to be quite negative, uninformed, and antiquated. It would appear that the company chose to close stores in high risk areas without first investigating how they could provide service to this under-served segment of society while still maintaining a profit margin and ensuring the safety of its employees. The company’s veiled attempt to make quick profits by providing only a small, high margin sampling of the customer requested health-conscious or organic products has likely served only to alienate and diminish their customer base. Lastly, the company’s response to the local food bank’s request for donations appears to a feeble attempt to create a valid reason to avoid the extra work that may have been associated with this endeavor. This response likely had the added effect of offending their employee base by suggesting that their employees would utilize the program to steal from the company.
We ain't got no choice and if that means getting killed... its what we do around here to feed our family.” Another cause of this problem is the lack of choices they can make. When living in the neighborhood as some of these gang members do its hard to be successful and make a name for yourself. At the end of the day they will do what they have to, to feed their families. If that means risking their lives selling crack to make $3.30 an hour then that’s what has to be done. A final quote that supports this is “They did however pay dues to the gang-some for protection, other for the chance to eventually earn a job as a foot soldier.
Evaluation of Company Q’s Current Attitude towards Social Responsibility Jennifer Salisbury Western Governors University Evaluation of Company Q’s Current Attitude towards Social Responsibility Section A: Evaluation Company Q’s current attitude towards social responsibility is being perceived as a costly nuisance that they are avoiding. The lack of concern in assessing the organization’s current culture is apparent due to the recent store closures in the higher crime rate areas. Also, consumer requests are not being addressed in a timely manner, and if they are, it is below satisfaction, by offering a bare minimum of high-end products. The fact that a local area food bank approached Company Q should have set a new standard in its conduct
The fact the company is throwing food out instead of donating it makes the company appear heartless in the eyes of the public. Although company Q has logical financial reasons for disposing of the food, the public does not see this. The public’s perception is that company Q only cares about profit and not the people of the community. Company Q Needs to seek methods to remedy the public perception that it does not care about the community. One solution could be that company Q can set up a program to closely monitor the surplus of inventory in order to make donations to local food banks.
The company was unable to maintain and manage the bonus incentive plan that they had in place before the crisis. The employees started to complain about the company’s policies and its situation also by underperforming, which in turn leads to low productivity. The manager Ron Bent had to figure out a way to address these problems, and come up with solutions so that the company can continue operating and supplying its clients. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant was facing the problem of not being able to keep their employees motivated in both good and bad times.

CD Docs The opinion towards England changed from America admiring them and following them blindly to genuinely not caring. They were very angry with the war and not being reimbursed and the taxes. Franklin says that England will have to use weapons and military force in order to get America to start paying taxes. Their attitude says that they would rather wear ratty, old clothes until they can learn how to make their own rather than pay extra taxes on clothes made in England. Dickenson wrote everything as “a farmer” so people could see he was normal, just like them.
Realizing that the homeland was withdrawing from the war, soldiers became edgy. As put by Lieutenant Frank M. Campagne, “Nobody wants to be the last man in Viet Nam Killed.” Furthermore soldiers lacked inspiration and a sense of purpose. Leadership went out of their way to impress superiors with increased body count by slaughtering innocent civilians including women and children. A study ordered by Military professionalism concludes “in pursuit of selfish career goals, senior officers sacrificed integrity on the altar of personal success. They became preoccupied with trivial short term objectives even through dishonest practices and compelled subordinates to lie, cheat, and steal to meet the impossible demands of higher officers” (Millet, Maslowski & Feis, 2012, p.561).
I believe if someone would have spoken to the soldiers and the families to see what their thoughts on the shut down was, the public would get a better insight on what military families have to face. The shut did last longer than what people had expected. It did cause uproar among the military community because military families live paycheck to paycheck. Military families rely on getting paid on time and resources such as WIC and Food Stamps. The way some people viewed this situation as it was unfolding, was in a manner of what are these soldiers and families will do had they not gotten paid.
