<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 following issues related to<br />
the employment-at-will doctrine and liability of an employer based on actions and responses to<br />
the employee’s behavior and actions. Jennifer, a recent graduate, has recently been hired by your<br />
accounting firm out of college. Upon being hired, she engages in a number of different behaviors<br />
that need your attention.<br />
<br />
For each category of behavior, describe what steps you would take to address the<br />
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 involving skills,<br />
competence, and abilities<br />
<br />
The employee seems to be unable to learn the computer applications that are basic to her<br />
job responsibilities, but, consistently “tells” her boss that she is “a good worker and a<br />
genius” and that he does not “appreciate her”. Even after a few months of training and<br />
support, she is unable to use the computer tools to be productive and efficient in<br />
completing the required tasks.<br />
2. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving management,<br />
behavior, and performance
The employee tends to burst into a rage when criticized and is frequently late to work as<br />
noticed by her boss and other staff members. When her boss attempts to address her<br />
behavioral issues and the company late policy, the employee’s response is that she<br />
“ knows her 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 needs to know<br />
about exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine and wrongful discharge in violation<br />
of public policy”.<br />
3. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving labor and<br />
laws<br />
<br />
The employee takes a day off from work, without management consent, for her religious<br />
holiday observance that falls on a day that is during “ tax season”. The day off occurred<br />
during an incredibly busy period for the company during which the employer had notified<br />
all employees they were not allowed to take off without prior management approval. Also,<br />
there is no labor union for accountants. However, she begins talking to her co-workers<br />
during lunch breaks and sometimes during regular work hours, encouraging them to<br />
organize and form a union to “protect ourselves”.<br />
4. Describe what steps you would take to address the following scenario involving policies and<br />
procedures<br />
<br />
The employee’s supervisor consistently asks her out on dates; the employee initially<br />
refuses to go out on a date with her supervisor. The employee later discusses the issue<br />
with her girlfriend who encourages her to accept his offers. During her new employee<br />
orientation, the employee was informed of the company policy which prevented<br />
employees from dating their supervisor and was given an employee handbook with the<br />
written policy. The employee and her supervisor later begin having a consensual<br />
relationship.<br />
