question-

b) Identify the legal issue(s) that exist.
c) Apply the facts of the case to the elements of the law/theories of law.
d) Cite a case in the text which is on point with the scenario, or compare and contrast with a case in the tex

students response

In looking at Jason’s request, Supervisor Jan should consider a few important items. When looking at religion in the terms of anti-discrimination in the workforce there is a unique take on it because it is not absolute. “Unlike the other categories included in Title VII, there is not an absolute prohibition against discrimination on the basis of religion. Rather, under Title VII, we see for the first time a category that has built into it a duty to reasonably accommodate the employee’s religious conflict unless to do so would cause the employer undue hardship” (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2019, p.540). Supervisor Jan will need to try to comply with Title VII  and she has the duty to try to find a way to avoid conflict between workplace policies and an employee’s religious practices or beliefs. She will need to consider if undue hardship exists. Specifically this is, “The burden imposed on an employer, by accommodating an employee’s religious conflict, that would be too onerous for the employer to bear” (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2019, p.540).

An interesting case to compare this against is Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC,58  where the Court unanimously determined that religious organizations have full authority to determine who their religious leaders are and to apply their religious dictates even when those dictates conflict with workplace antidiscrimination laws (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2019, p.540). In Supervisor Jan’s case, since she is working at an Accounting Firm, this does not apply to her and she will need to comply with Title VII and try to reasonable accommodate if there is no undue hardship.

Use of KPIs

Consider a project you know, either from experience or from research. Even though we focus on what went well on projects, we must also be mindful of those things that did not meet our expectations. Your textbook author described things to keep in mind that may cause difficulty in using KPIs.

• Explain how KPIs can fail the project, and bad habits that project managers and project teams can get into in selecting KPIs.
• Then, explain how your chosen project successfully or unsuccessfully used KPIs.

Support your statements and conclusions using at least one readings and one peer-reviewed scholarly article. Current means that the article was published in the most recent five years. Be sure to include your citation/reference pair in accordance with CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.).

 Employers have been coming up with innovative employee rewards to boost morale and acknowledge employee needs for creativity and personal goal accomplishment. Some of the latest potential employee rewards include using the Internet at work for personal reasons such as shopping, communicating with friends, or personal finances; bringing a pet to work; instituting a controlled napping policy, and sports and office betting pools. Write an eight- to ten-page paper in which you: 

1. Determine how innovations in employee benefits can improve the overall competitive compensation strategy of the organization. 

2. Explain how innovative benefits could be tied to specific jobs. 

3. Critique the effectiveness of equity-based rewards systems versus those with more creative approaches. 

4. Discuss the key elements of integrating innovation into a traditional total rewards program. 

5. Recommend a process that optimizes an employee-based suggestion program to continually refresh the total rewards of the organization. 

6. Use at least five quality academic resources in this assignment.

Another method of tracking/organizing your research is using an Annotated Bibliography.  An annotated bibliography is one of the most important tools in conducting research. It is a list of sources on a particular topic that includes a brief summary of the article in your own words (not copying the abstract) and the connection that supports your paper. 

Once you have identified your primary or secondary research topic(s), then you will begin to research and complete an Annotated Bibliography. .

You must select, read, and review 5 scholarly articles on your human resource topic(s). The articles must be peer reviewed journal articles from either Welder Library Eresources or Google Scholar.  Articles from dot com’s or dot org websites will not be accepted. 

Provide an annotated bibliography properly formatted in APA that addresses the following for each article.

More information regarding an Annotated Bibliography is located in the module 4 Read and Review section.

An annotated bibliography should avoid first person and be completed using APA format and include:

•  The purpose of the study
•  The findings of the study
• The relevance of the study to the student’s scholarly interests

Grading Rubric: 40 points

In an essay, answer the following questions about the concepts tied to this unit. Your response needs to be at least one page in length.

• To what extent is employment-at-will an issue in discipline cases in nonunion companies?
• To what extent is it an issue in unionized companies?
• Based on your research, what advice do you have for managers?
• What advice do you have for lawmakers (i.e., to what extent should employment-at-will be relevant for employee discipline)?

To begin your discussion, take a few moments and introduce yourself to your peers by providing a brief description of your hobbies, special interests, or other details to help us get to know you. Also, share your Ashford University degree program and your future career goals. You might revisit the goals you set in previous courses.

Additionally, read chapter 1, and answer the six true-false statements on your beliefs about interpersonal communication on page 3. Once you have completed the quiz, consider the following:

• How important is interpersonal communication? We have been communicating with others throughout our lives. We have casual conversations at work or the grocery store, in-depth conversations with friends or family, and interactions that include communication throughout much of our day. How do you use communication skills in your actions with others? Are there ever times when communication goes awry? Does communication just mean your use of words? What other things might be communicated beyond the content of your words? How might your culture, assumptions, or beliefs affect the way in which you communicate? How important would it be to communicate clearly when working in health and human services?
• Reflect- Think about your own beliefs and assumptions about interpersonal communication, especially as they relate to working with people in human services.

In addition to writing about yourself in your introduction, please respond to one of the two following sets of questions:

• Think about characters in television dramas or sitcoms that you have watched. What are some examples of effective communication (verbal and non-verbal) that you have observed? What are some examples of ineffective communication?
• Think about a time when you had to communicate with someone else. What are some examples of effective communication (verbal and non-verbal) that you engaged in? Conversely, what are some examples of ineffective communication you have engaged in? What were the consequences of this miscommunication?
