<strong>LEG</strong> <strong>500</strong> <strong>Assignment</strong> 1 <strong>Employment</strong>-At-Will Doctrine<br />

Due Week 3 and worth 200 points<br />

As a manager and supervisor of an accounting department, discuss the<br />

following issues related to the employment-at-will doctrine and liability<br />

of an employer based on actions and responses to the employee’s<br />

behavior and actions. Jennifer, a recent graduate, has recently been hired<br />

by your accounting firm out of college. Upon being hired, she engages<br />

in a number of different behaviors that need your attention.<br />

• For each category of behavior, describe what steps you would take to<br />

address the situation.<br />

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you<br />

1. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario<br />

involving skills, competence, and abilities<br />

• The employee seems to be unable to learn the computer applications<br />

that are basic to her job responsibilities, but, consistently “tells” her boss<br />

that she is “a good worker and a genius” and that he does not “appreciate<br />

her”. Even after a few months of training and support, she is unable to


use the computer tools to be productive and efficient in completing the<br />

required tasks.<br />

2. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario<br />

involving management, behavior, and performance<br />

• The employee tends to burst into a rage when criticized and is<br />

frequently late to work as noticed by her boss and other staff members.<br />

When her boss attempts to address her behavioral issues and the<br />

company late policy, the employee’s response is that she “ knows her<br />

rights and what to do” if she is wrongfully discharged. She also says she<br />

took a business law class in undergrad that taught her “everything she<br />

needs to know about exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine and<br />

wrongful discharge in violation of public policy”.<br />

3. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario<br />

involving labor and laws<br />

• The employee takes a day off from work, without management consent,<br />

for her religious holiday observance that falls on a day that is during<br />

“ tax season”. The day off occurred during an incredibly busy period for<br />

the company during which the employer had notified all employees they<br />

were not allowed to take off without prior management approval. Also,<br />

there is no labor union for accountants. However, she begins talking to<br />

her co-workers during lunch breaks and sometimes during regular work<br />

hours, encouraging them to organize and form a union to “protect<br />

ourselves”.<br />

4. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario<br />

involving policies and procedures<br />

• The employee’s supervisor consistently asks her out on dates; the<br />

employee initially refuses to go out on a date with her supervisor. The<br />

employee later discusses the issue with her girlfriend who encourages<br />

her to accept his offers. During her new employee orientation, the<br />

employee was informed of the company policy which prevented<br />

employees from dating their supervisor and was given an employee<br />

handbook with the written policy. The employee and her supervisor later<br />

begin having a consensual relationship.
