The Value Of Fair Treatment In The Workplace
In this assignment you evaluate and assess workplace protection
legislation, identify the law pursuant to the employment-at-will (EAW)
doctrine and legal exceptions and apply this understanding to a business
scenario, and explain legal requirements for hiring new employees and your
own home state laws as to workers' compensation and immigration.
Instructions
Respond to the following in 4–6-pages:
Cite two federal laws that you believe are the most important for
protecting employees from workplace discrimination. Provide a compelling
argument for the effectiveness of the legislation in protecting employees
and two case law examples to support your assessment.
Explain the actions that employers must take to verify legal employment in
the United States.
Some states do not allow undocumented workers, or those not legally allowed
to work in the United States, to receive workers' compensation benefits.
Provide the law in your home state and a compelling and supported (with
research) argument advocating for or against your state's practice of
allowing or denying workers' compensation benefits to undocumented or
illegal workers.
Provide a comprehensive summary of the employment-at-will (EAW) doctrine
that includes all possible legal exceptions designed to fight wrongful
termination.
Cite and support (with research) an appropriate EAW exception that the
employee in each of the following scenarios could reasonably argue to save
their job.
Scenario 1: JoAnn, a manager, started a blog on the company website for
employee grievances and problems. She noticed that a worker was protesting
that allegedly no Asian American employees had gotten a raise in two years
at the company. Christine, the employee, also criticized how much CEO Elon
had made last year and how he was "out of touch" with the realities of his
employees. JoAnn reminded Christine that she was an employee-at-will. The
next day, Christine talked to her fellow co-workers about forming a union.
JoAnn fired Christine and Christine is suing for wrongful termination.
Scenario 2: Steven, a department supervisor, fired his secretary, Ann. Ann,
devout Christian, had been putting Right-to-Life flyers in the employee
breakroom. Steven talked to Ann twice and reiterated her actions were not
appropriate. Ann continued to leave the pamphlets and was also taking time
away from work to pray at her desk during the busiest times of the morning.
Ann is suing for wrongful termination.
