...Rizwan Raja Date: 10/11/2012 There are certain legal restrictions that should always be considered in the planning process particularly as it relates to human resources planning. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on grounds of race, color, sex, religion or national origin. Considerations on the sexual deviations that prevent its employment or promotion, too, is a violation of Title VII of the Act (SEC. 2000e-3.Section 704). A former employee of our company has filed a claim against the company under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, constructive discharge, after a work schedule policy change. The employee alleged that the enforcement of the company’s new policy on shift work is discriminatory because the policy requires employees to work on a religious holy day. Agreements with trade unions, too often impose legal restrictions on the program of Human Resources, as they are specified questions about promotion, kind of work for certain categories of employees, wages, the procedure for resolving conflicts, etc. The leaders that govern the activities of workers - union members need to know all aspects of the industrial relations system in their organization. All managers and administrators should receive appropriate training in the legal constraints imposed by agreements with the unions. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to employers with 15 or more employees and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex...

...Amanda Lawson MGT 4800 Case Study Southwest Airlines 1. Resources a. Tangible Resources: Tangible resources are the physical and financial assets that an organization must need to create value for its customers (Dess, Lumpkin, & McNamara , 2014). Examples are as follows: i. The size of Southwest’s fleet was 694 Boeing 737 by the end of 2012. ii. Southwest Airlines has 35,000 employees. (Attendants, Pilots, ground crew, etc.) iii. Contracted hubs that Southwest Airlines fly in and out of. iv. Southwest is adequately and effectively utilizing it’s resources to continue its growth. They are also using these resources, modifying them slightly (more seats per flight), advantageously to recover some of the lost growth opportunity when AirTran was acquired. b. Intangible Resources: Intangible resources are assets that gain value from intellectual or legal rights; they are difficult to identify and account for (Dess, Lumpkin, & McNamara , 2014). v. Southwest’s “people department” (in use of human resources department). vi. Brand resources, such as brand value and reputation as a fun and low-cost airline. vii.

...SR-RM-012 PAPER Brandi Perez and Chin Song BSA/310 December 12, 2013 Fred Bennett SR-RM-012 PAPER Human Resource no longer mirrors its personnel department. How it appears on an organization chart varies by the type of company. How it functions reflects the growing emphasis on the role of human resources. Currently all of Riordan’s facilities are non union facilities, employee relations are part of the human resources department. Riordan Manufacturing’s business systems are outdated, most information like training, development, applicant information, analyses, and salary surveys are kept in an Excel spreadsheet. There is no central employee file area; managers are responsible for tracking FMLA absences or any other request accommodations under the ADA. Employee relations specialists are there to track information concerning complaints, grievances, and harassment, locked in files in their or managers offices. The company’s HRIS (human resource information system) was installed in 1992. HRIS system is a software or online solution for the data entry, data tracking, and data information needs of the human resources, payroll, management, and accounting functions within a business. It is a part of the company’s financial systems package and keeps track of the following employee information such as personal information, pay rate, tax exemptions, senority date, organizational information (department, managers’ name etc), and vacation hours.

...The Information Systems Department August 4, 2012 XBIS/219 University of Phoenix There are many different departments in a business. I will discuss the human resources department and the sales and marketing department. The human resources department deals with all the recruitment, training, the health and safety, and pay negotiations with unions/workers. Before you use an information system in this department you have to decide on what you need the system to do for you. This is considered the most important step of the Human Resources Software Technology system selection process. The more detailed you are in this step the more likely you will be to find the correct system for your needs. The main purpose of the information system in HR is so companies can manage their benefit plans and their employee information. Next I will be discussing the marketing department. The marketing function carries out marketing research and also organizes advertising and product promotion. Information systems play a role in this department as well. This department has to act as a guide and lead the company’s other departments in developing, producing, fulfilling, and servicing products or services for their customers, with some input from other workers within the company on doing so. They rely on various technologies within the scope of marketing efforts. Computer based information systems can be employed. They aid in better processing and storage of data.

...Analysis of Walmart Jennifer Boykin Strayer University Professor Swinney BUS 310 July 17, 2014 Analysis of Walmart 1. Analyze the organization overall, its primary purpose, the customers that it serves, and its size. In 1945 a businessman named Sam Walton made the decision to purchase a branch of the Ben Franklin Stores with the idea of focusing on selling products at lower prices in order to earn higher volume sales at a lower profit margin. Once he was able to overcome a few obstacles, he gained the ability to locate lower-cost suppliers who allowed him with the opportunity to have a significant advantage over his local competitors. Over the next five years, Walton drastically increased his sales percentage and by the time his lease on the Ben Franklin stores were up, he opened a new franchise called “Walton’s Five and Dime”. This new franchise would eventually give birth to today’s most successful multinational retail corporation known as Walmart. By 1970, the company had 38 stores operating throughout Arkansas and within the next decade, they continued to grow rapidly with a total of 1,198 stores with sales totaling $15.9 billion Walmart has since opened thousands of stores throughout the United States and have also expanded internationally. The company currently operates over 11,000 retail units under 71 banners in 27 countries and e-commerce websites in 10 countries (“Our Business” 2014). Walmart...

...sense of confidence in the management and the HR functions of an organisation A healthy HR function in an organisation is as important as the physical and mental well being of a human body. Typically the basic reason why organisations prefer to conduct an HR audit is to get a clear judgement about the overall status of the organisation and also to find out whether certain systems put in place are yielding any results. HR audit also helps companies to figure out any gaps or lapses and the reason for the same. Since every company plans certain systems and targets, an HR audit compares the plans to actual implementation. The concept of HR audit has emerged from the practice of yearly finance and accounting audit, which is mandatory for every company, to be done by external statutory auditors. This audit serves as an examination on a sample basis of practices and systems for identifying problems and ensuring that sound accounting principles are followed. Similarly, an HR audit serves as a means through which an organisation can measure the health of its human resource function. Organisations undertake HR audits for many reasons: 1 To ensure effective utilisation of human resources. 2 To review compliance with tons of laws and regulations. 3 To instill a sense of confidence in the human resource department that it is well-managed and prepared to meet potential challenges and opportunities. 4 To maintain or enhance the organisation’s reputation in a community.

The study revealed that the conceptualization of HRA, the ideas incorporated therein, and arguments are good for the accounting profession and corporate financial reporting. But the existing models yet proposed are not in a state to implement HRA practice worldwide. Hence this paper proposes...
