...Workplace Relations Act 1996. Actions involving absenteeism, abandonment of employment, criminal charges, dishonesty, damage or intoxication allow for instant dismissal orders to occur at the fair judgement of the employer. Citistores makes the commitment to “ensuring that when discipline and termination issues arise, all employees are treated equitably within a framework of procedural fairness” (Policy-Termination/Resignation, p. 1). Through application of the policy guidelines HRM establishes referral points to assess whether appropriate handling of terminations occur. In practicing fair behaviour in the workplace reasonable notice periods must apply to all situations and regulations must apply to administrative processes. It is solely the task of the HRM to ensure departures from Citistores are conducted fairly, this includes giving the employee opportunity to explain their actions and, if choosing to, rectify their improper behaviour. In the case of employee resignation it again becomes the role of HRM to address the ethical rights of their departing staff member whom is entitled to make the decision to exit the organisation at any moment they choose “employees who voluntarily resign their employment are allowed to exit the organisation in an efficient and comfortable manner” (Policy-Termination/Resignation, p. 2). A morally fair dismissal will be a lot less impactful to any business in the long-term, which gives significant justification for a thorough Policy that discourages...

...Assessment - Outcome 1. 1. Human Resource Management is a modernised way of managing people effectively in organisations, using the platform of Personnel Management and developing on its traditional approach of being part of the organisation only to provide a welfare service to workers, but rather to recognise that a company’s workforce are its most valuable asset, and utilising the staff to help the organisation and people prosper and thrive. HRM deals with recruiting, performance managing, benefits, developing and training staff, resolving disputes and grievances, wages and salaries, communicating effectively with staff at any level within an organisation, and making sure laws and legislation are complied with, and are up to date. HRM takes the modern day ‘pro-active’ role as opposed to the outdated ‘reactive’ role adopted by the Personnel Management approach, and this is seen as pivotal to the way Human Resources is now managed. The ‘pro-active’ role looks to anticipate and predict the organisations needs and welcomes innovative ideas that can benefit the organisation as a whole e.g. restructuring organisation to better increase communication between managers and staff, instead of the old fashioned ‘reactive’ role used by Personnel Management which waits for problems to arise – then takes appropriate action. 2. When analysing personnel management and Human Resource Management, and how they differ - four major stages are a looked at, they are: social justice, human...

Introduction Human resources are the most valuable and unique assets of an organization. The successful management of an organization's human resources is an exciting, dynamic and challenging task, especially at a time when the world has become a global village and economies are in a state of flux. The scarcity of talented resources and the growing expectations of the modern day worker have further increased the complexity of the human resource function. Even though specific human resource functions/activities are the responsibility of the human resource department, the actual management of human resources is the responsibility of all the managers in an organization. It is therefore necessary for all managers to understand and give due importance to the different human resource policies and activities in the organization. Human Resource Management outlines the importance of HRM and its different functions in an organization. It examines the various HR processes that are concerned with attracting, managing, motivating and developing employees for the benefit of the organization 1.1 What is Human Resource Management:Human resource management involves all management decisions and practices that directly affect or influence the people, or human resources...

...knowledge economy, organizational success depends almost disproportionally on the performance of Human Resources (HR). To increase the effectiveness of Human Resource Management (HRM) organizations are becoming more dependent on human Resource Information Systems (HRIS). A HRIS organizes employee applicant and qualifications, organizational demographics, recruiting, professional development, performance appraisals, payroll, retention, and attrition. Organizations that implement HRIS’s improve the organizations administrative efficiency with faster information processing, improved employee communications, greater information accuracy, lover costs and overall HR productivity improvements (Beadles, 2005). When selecting a HRIS, Human Resources (HR) should consider the efficiencies of using software as a service, the inefficiencies of various Microsoft Access based database software, the risks involved with integrating and combining multiple products into one system, and the consequences of improper database maintenance. In analyzing HRIS’s that would be beneficial in my current organization I chose to focus on HRIS Pro by Micro Systems, and MyHRIS by Nuview Systems. Commercial Database Systems HRIS-Pro information management software allows organizations greater effectiveness in managing HR functions and responsibilities. The advantages of HRIS-Pro are the information systems cost, modular flexibility, expansion capabilities, web- based platform, report friendly, and interoperability...

...Running head: Human Resource System Executive Summary In 1992, Riordan Manufacturing Inc., implemented and established human resource information system (HRIS), which was included as part of a financial package. The HRIS package included functions such as maintaining personnel information, pay rate and tax information, hire and seniority dates, vacation leave for non-exempt employees, and organizational information. However, certain areas of the HRIS could be improved upon and developed. One area that needs improvement is the network communications between headquarters and all the Riordan plants. Improvements are also needed in central repository, resume storage, maintaining training and knowledge skills information, online employee user interface, and a central location for updating and maintaining employee personal and professional information. Improving the current HRIS activities would be advantageous to Riordan leadership and their employees. Hugh McMCauley, the COO for Riordan Manufacturing requested that the human resources (HR) system be analyzed to integrate the existing variety of tools in use in the present day to a single integrated application. The request will take advantage of a more sophisticated look for information systems technology in the HR department at Riordan Manufacturing. After the project is to be completed, Riordan Manufacturing will then be left with a detailed project plan that will provide a list of tasks, resources, schedule and budget required...

...space with zero atoms consist of stones. 5. All empty space does not consist of stones. 6. Therefore, stones do not exist. To go even further, I can add another step in order to conclude that ordinary objects do not exist. The additional step would be that if ordinary objects exist, then stones must also exist. Therefore, ordinary objects do not exist. First we must see what objects exists and what objects occupy a position in space and time. Objects in the universe include planets, people, atoms, chairs, and the sun. They are all made out of parts and they are all composite objects. In order to explain the idea of composition we can say that the x’s compose a composite object if and only if the x’s, taken together have a function that none of them have separately, the x’s are physically bonded, and the x’s are inseparable. Nihilism supports Unger’s idea that stones do not exist because nihilism supports the idea that composition never occurs and therefore,...

What is the domain and range of the relation {(2, 4),(4, 8),(8, 16)} ? Ans: domain {2,4,8} and range {4,8,16} and the function can be given as f(x)=2x. 3. Decide whether the graph below is a function. Ans: The above shown graph is not a function since for a given x value it has multiple y values at certain points and hence cannot be a function. 4. What is the domain and range of the function f (x) = ? Ans: domain 0 ≤ x and range 0 ≤ f(x) 5. Is the following a function: y = ± x ? Ans : No it is not a function for a given x value it has two Y values . 6. Is the function f (x) = 4x even, odd, or neither? Ans : function f (x) = 4x is an odd function since f (x) = - f (- x) 7.
