Then answer questions 1-3. 1. Is it difficult to form an LLC? What legal requirements must be met to form one? Forming an LLC seems fairly easy. You must choose a name not already used in Minnesota for your business and have LLC within the name. Example being, “My Business, LLC.” You must file Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State. You must appoint an agent that would receive papers on the company’s behalf, if for an example you were sued. You must make sure you are complying with all tax codes and regulations. Each year, the LLC must file an annual file renewal with the secretary of state. If you plan to do any business outside the state you must also register that with the Secretary of State. What department within a state’s government should you contact for information on forming an LLC within your state? You would contact the Secretary of State for more information. 2. Why should LLC owners prepare an operating agreement for their company even though such an agreement is not legally required in most states? The operating agreement gives the individual members of the LLC protection from liabilities. It also clarifies all verbal agreements and now makes them easier enforceable because it is in a written document. If there is no operating agreement then any disputes...

...knowledge with us to complete this project. I thank you. Problem Statement The Green Island Primary School located in Green Island, Hanover, serves as a primary institution for many children of the district and surrounding communities. Many of Hanover’s scholars have passed through the doors of this noble institution. For an impressive institution such as this, it should not be encountering data storage problems. The school began way before the 1920s, and stores students’ record in manila folders in filing cabinets. The rooms where these files are stored are cluttered due to the small storage space and because of the limited space in the cabinets, they are full and some files have to be stored in desk drawers, overhead cabinet, and on top of tables. As a result of this, the retrieval of files from these locations is very time consuming and a lot of problems have arose from this. The main problem is when the Secretary, who is the person in charge of that area has to search for a child’s record; it sometimes takes over half an hour to find the particular record needed. Parents often complain about the wait and at times express ill-mannered behavior towards her. Another problem is that the school is sometimes broken into and during this the filing cabinets were always forced open, the records thrown about, some destroyed or maybe stolen. These filing cabinets not only store the student’s data, but also important documents such as teacher’s personal information...

...Homework Week 2 | HRM 320 Employment Law | Elizabeth Larson | 3/13/2015 3/13/2015 1. What do you think are some of the factors in the modern workplace that contribute to a theft of time? How can those factors be managed? The development of newer technologies within the workplace has transformed work arrangements and habits. There are many examples of theft of time including sleeping on the job, taking a longer lunch, and even taking care of personal responsibilities during work hours. “Time theft costs employers more than $400 billion per year in lost productivity” (Donskey). One of the biggest factors in theft of time is the internet. Employees have easy access to the internet, from work issued computers to the use of smart phones. Unfortunately, with the use of personal cell phones, even with policies put into place to prevent and/or prohibit the use of cell phones during work hours, is usually not enough to stop many employees. Furthermore, these forms of theft of time typically go unnoticed by companies but policies and other means of prevention can be put in place to deter employees from such activities. Many companies block out popular websites, such as social media websites or some competitor websites. Also, computers issued by the company are company property and are monitored. When employees know their internet usage is being watched, they are more careful with what they attempt to access on the internet during work hours. To monitor hours worked, and...

...(For Course participants only) Reading Material & Work Book On Effective Noting & Drafting (Edited by Smt. Jayanthi Sriram, Asst.Director) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA INSTITUTE SECRETARIAT TRAINING & MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL & TRAINING ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK, JNU CAMPUS (OLD) OLOF PALMS MARG, NEW DELHI-110067 TEL. 26105592 TELEFAX: 26104183 Revised - 2005 FORWARD In responsive administration it is obvious that the response has to be meaningful. Yet, it may not be effective unless the response time is optimised. This twin objective can be achieved through streamlining of the decision making process itself. In the Central Secretariat, as in other spheres of Government, contribution by all rungs of employees particularly by those at the cutting edge level, namely the Section Officers and Assistants, generally helps arriving at the right decision. Besides collection of information, such contributions are rendered through Noting & Drafting. Effective noting & drafting at every level, therefore, is a matter of prime concern. 2. To address this concern, we in ISTM have been according utmost importance to the inclusion of 'noting and drafting' as a subject in all our foundational and refresher Courses. Besides, focussed workshops on effective noting & drafting are also organised in large numbers. To help participants team effectively, the need for practical exercises cannot be overemphasised. Similarly,...

...Employees engaged in personal cell phone conversations or using their cell phones to check social networking sites are wasting their employers' time unless they are on break. The potential for lost productivity is a key reason some employers seek to decrease cell phone use at work. A company can decrease cell phone use by banning phones from all meetings, group training sessions and conferences. Companies can implement and govern cell phone usage policies in the workplace while striking a balance that is fair to the company and its workers. 2. What does the word Whistleblower mean (legally speaking)? Give an example of whistleblowing. A whistleblower is a person who has knowledge of illegal activity going on within the company that management and other executives may not be aware of and they notify the appropriate person to put a stop to the illegal activity. An example of whistleblowing would be an employee knows that two other employees steal clothes from the store when they close together. The two employees have a routine of how they steal the merchandise and not get caught. The employee who knows about the activity going on reports this to the store manager so the two employees who are stealing will be caught and terminated...

...Marty Previtte Ms. Swails ENG 110 November 7, 2011 Player Chant Imagery and sound can be two important elements in poetry. The poems “Secretary Chant” by Marge Piercy and “Player Piano” by John Updike are examples of ways to effectively use imagery and sound to convey a message. Although both poems use sound and imagery, they use these elements in different ways. Updike uses sound and imagery to portray human characteristics in a nonliving object, while Piercy uses the same elements to mechanize a woman into an office machine. Even though Updike’s poem is more enjoyable, Piercy is more effective in the use of imagery and sound. In “Secretary Chant,” Piercy describes a woman being consumed by her job as a secretary. Piercy’s message is that women who perform the same secretarial jobs day in and day out can become mechanized. Piercy expresses his message by painting a picture of this woman with simple sentences, simple metaphors, and obvious grammatical mistakes. Each of these techniques is used to convey a sound and image so that the reader can become familiar with the transformation this woman is going through. Most lines of “Secretary Chant” are formed by simple sentences. “Rubber bands form my hair” (line 4) is a good example of the poem’s typical sentence. By using simple sentences Piercy is making the statement that the main character (the woman) is losing her ability to stray from a simple sentence. This means that the woman being described in the poem is losing one...

...Discretionary Access Control(DAC), and Rule Based Access Control. MAC is more secure than DAC; the MAC mechanisms assign security levels to all information, it assigns security clearances to users, and ensures that people have access to data that their clearance allows and not more. An example of MAC is like when the law allows the court access to driving records without the owners’ permission. DAC is when an individual user can set an access control mechanism to allow or deny access to an object. An example of that is Active Directory which system admins use to allow users access to certain files on a share drive and workstations. For Role Based and Rule Based Access Controls they are very similar. For Role Based it gives users access depending on their jobs for example an account of a company has access to the finance data where a customer representative does not because it has nothing to do with their job. An example of Rule Based is when the system admin grants you access to certain files or data again like using Active Directory. For instance the President of a company secretary has permission to view their calendar but may not access to view the VP’s calendar because he has his own secretary and is not granted permission to view or access...

...sons a duty of care as a customer. The concept of duty of care generally known as the ‘neighbour’s principle’ is effectively established in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson. The legal principle of Donoghue v Stevenson is, in order for the plaintiff to sue in negligence he has to prove the four vital points which are, the defendant owes a duty of care to the plaintiff and the defendant did not take proper care which resulted in damage or injury to the plaintiff. Hence, in this case the manager of the supermarket breached his duty by negligently accusing Sebastian in front of a public for stealing and also labelling Sebastian as a cheat and liar without having any accurate evidence. Therefore, my recommendation would be that Sebastian may file a law suit against the Poorich supermarket for the negligence of the manager in handling the matter which is reasonably foreseeable that it caused Sebastian embarrassment and emotional distress. The second lawsuit that can be brought against the supermarket, would be trespass to a person. The three types of trespass to a person is battery, assault and false imprisonment. In the case of Sebastian, the appropriate action to be taken would be false imprisonment. The general principle of false imprisonment is an illegal detention of a person against his or her will by another person in such a manner as to disrupt the detained person’s right to be free from restraint of movement. Hence in this case, when the manager refuse to allowed one...

...CHAPTER 4 Privacy, Theft, and Whistle-Blowing CHAPTER 5 Termination Assignment Week 2 DeVry University HRM 320 1. What do you think are some of the factors in the modern workplace that contribute to a theft of time? How can those factors be managed? One of the major factors would be the use of the internet for personal use like Facebook, Twitter, or social network, or even their personal email accounts. Nowadays it’s so natural to go to any of these social media or emails accounts because it is so part of our everyday lives. A way that can an employer could avoid this is by blocking any and all distraction for the employees or monitor what and where the employees is going while online. Other ways of theft of time is the use of mobile phones. Because businesses are able to monitor the use of the business phones, most employees rely on their mobile phones to make and receive personal calls, text, even access their social media pages, and email account. The only solutions is having a written policy against the use of mobile phones during work hours. Another factor are the smoke breaks that employees take during working hours. Even though the time set for these breaks are 15 minutes they tend to extend especially if there is more than two people or if they go out in groups. Another way to prevent this is by having a written policy against smoking that way employees understand that to do so they would have to wait until lunch break to be able to smoke. Additionally...

It is a process that allows organisms to exchange information by several methods.

...see no way of managing mobile phones, as employee rights may be violated. One way to manage it is a policy not to use your personal mobile phone at work. For family emergencies, the employee’s family can call the work place. Smokers take up to 5-10 minutes to smoke a cigarette and taking smoke breaks two to three time an hour and that adds up to 20-30 minutes of theft of time per hour. Some employers have smoke areas while others have no smoking on company property. One way to manage smokers is to have a no smoking policy. If employees that smoke want to smoke than they would have to walk off the property to smoke. This would also assist smokers from quitting. 2.

...headquarters are in Nairobi and has several branches spread all over the country. The structure of this union is such that, the Chairman, Secretary General and the Treasurer form the top management. The deputy secretary general and his assistants form the middle mangers. The branch managers form the line managers. The branch managers report directly to the Secretary General every now and then concerning their respective branches and all disputes reported are handled from the headquarter where the industrial relations officers take over. In its endeavors, the union depends majorly on CBA agreements and the labour laws Act 2007. Numerous reports are written after every negotiation with employers and cases filed if there tends to be a disagreement. All these files of cases dating from the 1980s that have ever been handled by the union and reports are stored in file cabinets in a store room. File cabinets are like the junk drawer that hasn’t been cleaned out in years: a few frequently used things are in the right place, and they store some valuable stuff- if you can find them. The files are too many and some are old and in tatters but it’s said that the union cannot function without these files. The employees confess that its usually a hustle trying to locate a certain file since no proper records exist that pinpoints the locations of these files and it gets worse when an employee who is supposed to attend the industrial courts for a mention of a case he has been following falls ill;...
