<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 />
