Some years ago, US employees were offered, and accepted, full-time jobs with a high level of benefits. Today, that trend has reversed where part-time job and/or temporary consulting jobs are becoming more common as opposed to full-time employment. Given this background, address the following:

• Provide a brief, statistical background on the rising level of part-time versus full-time employment, including the rise of consultants versus employees.
• Discuss the criteria a human resource professional should utilize to determine whether an organization should hire a full-time versus part-time employee, a consultant versus an employee, and what those implications would be for both an organization and an employee. Must be 300 words

Instructions

For this assignment, assume you are the owner of a small business in the Midwest with a sales force of ten people whose territories cover five states. Your sales force is commission-based, so their earnings depend on whether they exceed or fall short of their monthly sales quotas, which are determined by the company. At the time a salesperson joins the company, you have them sign an agreement acknowledging that they are independent contractors, not employees. The agreement prohibits them from representing any of your competitors, although they may do work for non-competing businesses. They must perform their sales duties themselves, and may not hire assistants without your approval and at no additional cost to your company. They are not reimbursed for travel, food, or lodging expenses. For convenience, they have access to cubicles at your main office, along with a laptop and cell phone, although they are not required to use the facilities or equipment. They do not receive benefits, such as sick leave, vacation, and holidays. They are paid monthly, and no payroll taxes or social security deductions are withheld from their checks. Since they are on the road a lot, you carry liability insurance. Your insurance broker told you that if they are injured while performing their duties, they could sue the company, so you told your workers’ compensation carrier that they are employees so they would be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Although the salespeople are not required to report their hours worked each month, they are expected to meet or exceed sale quotas and complete monthly reports, indicating the number and names of clients contacted, follow-up calls, and related information documenting their activities. If they failed to meet their monthly sales quotas, they must provide a written explanation.

• Based      on the above information, prepare a 4-6 page, double-spaced essay      indicating whether the salespeople would more likely be considered as      independent contractors or employees, based on the IRS 20-Factor Test.
• Please      post by Sunday evening at 11:59 p.m. CT.
• The      assignment covers material from the text for Week 2. Be sure to read the      assignment carefully.
• You      should prepare the assignment using the following guidelines: 
  1. A       12-point Times New Roman or similar business font,
  2. Submitted       in Word format (docx, doc, or rtf file formats),
  3. Style       and citations should follow the 6th edition of the APA Manual.
• The      assignment is worth 150 points.

• choose two (2) of the following employment tests: drug tests,  medical examinations, polygraphs or honesty tests, and scored test of  ability. Next, analyze the manner in which the testing itself could be  considered illegal when an organization does not properly use it during  the employment hiring process. Justify your response.
• Give your opinion of the purpose of the Bona Fide Occupational  Qualification (BFOQ), as discussed within the text. Then, suggest two  (2) occupations where the discriminatory requirement is legal. Justify  your response
