...long time in that company, then the benefits it is offering such as employee leave and for how many days it is willing to pay for personal leave is very important. Employers offer employees leave in many forms such as vacation, sick time, personal time, paid time as a part of benefit package. These policies really make a difference. They develop a positive working relationship between employee and employer and also increase the commitment of the employee towards the organization which leads to more profits, promotes good working habits and help human resource manager to easily keep track of the employee attendance. This research paper is about paid and unpaid personal leaves for employees. These leaves are not under leave of absence laws. They are not required by the federal law to be granted to the employees and they are purely given by the company as a benefits package or bonus. In the body of the paper, I will discuss about the definition of these days, main goal of these leaves, number of days, rules and regulations on how to use these days, a new policy being introduced in many organizations known as PTO (Paid Time Off Policy) to benefit employees and managers in the place of paid personal leave, benefits and disadvantages.

Keywords: human resource management, interviewing and hiring, training, employee development, succession planning, appraisals, work environment, employee protection, technologies, overall HR management-planning and forecasting What I Have Learned From Human Resource Class No matter which topic we discuss in our HRM class, they all somehow relate to one objective that Dr. Robert W.

McClelland analysed in its paper from 1973 already that it is better for a company to test on a person’s competencies than on its intelligence.2 Not every job position needs the most intelligent person but the person who takes the job needs to have the requested competencies to fulfil the job. The problem is that there are not the one key competencies. Every single company or job requests its own competencies. To receive a better understanding about them it is helpful to...

...three ethical issues: Human Resources Issues, Conflicts of Interest, and the Use of Corporate Resources, and how they affect the organization of Lovelace Health System. Business Ethics Business ethics, by definition is the “Moral principles defining how businesses and business should act towards each other, employees, and the public” (The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia with Atlas and Weather guide, 2009). Ethics is derived from a person’s upbringing, culture, nationality, education, peer group(s), and experiences throughout life that ultimately define the individual. It is how a person decides what is right and what is wrong. Many organizations today have put in place a code of ethics for employees to live by and must be adhered to if the employee wishes to prosper long-term with that organization. Human Resources Issues Human resources issues describe “the ethical problems that occur when people work together” (Trevino, Nelson, 2007, p. 2). The performance evaluation is very important in grading one’s performance, but it also can be the deciding factor in yearly merit increases. At Lovelace Health Systems, performance evaluations are given once a year. The evaluations can last from 15 minutes to 30 minutes at most. Throughout the year little or no feedback is given to the employee(s) concerning work performance unless the employee does something wrong and is counseled on the issue. This is an ethical problem because the human resources-the employees-are not properly...

Make recommendations on what to do and what not to do. Explain the reasoning for your recommendations. (10 marks) WILSON BROTHERS LIMITED Guidelines for Best Practices in Electronic Communications This document will serve as a guideline on the use of electronic communications and addresses major issues such as; email and cell phone usage, best practices, how we define appropriate use of email and cell phones in the workplace, the effective use of email as a business tool for internal and external communication and how it is to be managed.

However, A&A, I believe should have given Jack further consideration based on his job performance and accomplishments. Jack, as an accomplished stakeholder, has legitimate claims in the company’s successful use of its resources. A&A has a social responsibility to its employees to recognize employee accomplishment beyond a paycheck to minimize negative feelings towards to company to the point employee’s use company resources for personal gain as Jack did. Jack actions eventually “snared” in Carla, who herself became pressed in her ethical views and values towards the company. 2. Carla’s options were either report Jack or back off as she did. She should not have backed off! Carla right away realized Jack was stealing from the A&A. But Jack was successful to persuade her not to exercise her duty of diligence to report him. Carla’s use of company equipment was extremely minute compared to Jack copying software. Jack did what he did so that he may perform consulting work for personal gain not for the sake of the company. Jack would likely respond by reporting that Carla used the copier for personal use and made long distanced phone calls. That which Jack did could severely damage the company’s ability to continue being successful where Carla’s using the copying machine and making personal long distance telephone calls will not impact the company as greatly.
